Surgeon's recs: Best to go with surgeon's recommendations. Always a good idea to start with light exercise and increase slowly intensity allowing time for your body to recover after surgery.

Postop instructions: Your surgeon should provide guidance as they will know the specifics of what was done. Typically there is no delay in activities after an IUD insertion. Post laparoscopy typically one can return to activities when they feel up to it as the surgery is minimally invasive with no sutures other than the small skin incisions.
