Hi,

Copper T comes with particular time limit, after which it should be removed. Yours must have gone out of that time limit by now. Check with your gynecologist and remove it.

Weight gain is highly unlikely due to Copper T. Focus on healthy eating and be active 30 to 40 mins per day for 5 days in a week by doing some exercise that makes you sweat. Walking, cycling whichever you are comfortable with. Start it slow with 10 mins per day for couple of days and increase the time by 5 mins every day. It is must to keep yourself healthy.

Itching is also unlikely due to Copper T. Find out if any of your personal care products doesn't suit you or makes your skin dry. Keep your skin moisturised with petroleum jelly or coconut oil or any other lotion that suits you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
