Hallow Dear,

Copper T is never responsible for increase in weight. It does not contain any hormones also which may cause retention of water.

You have gained weight after caesarean section delivery. It seems you did not have proper exercises after delivery and were leading sedentary type of life. Moreover, usually, there is a tendency to eat more food and that too containing high fats after delivery.

Please restrict your diet to about 1500 calories per day which will be having high proteins, moderate carbohydrates and low fats. Daily exercises will help you control your weight. Apart from daily stretching exercises, please develop the habit of daily walking for 40 minutes at stretch with 90 steps per minute twice a day.

This should help you control your weight. You may safely go for CuT insertion. It will not increase your weight.

I hope this helps you.
