You should wait for five years to be completed from the date of insertion of Copper T.
Nothing will happen even if you delay the removal or replacement of Copper T by 3-4 months.

Now it's time to get it replaced. Delaying for 3-4 months is not going to affect its contraceptive efficacy. U can get it removed on day 4or 5 of your periods. The same day it can be removed and new one can be replaced

Get it done just after your menses in October or November which falls before 11/11/23.
If u delay it, the birth control effectiveness decreases, but no side effects on your body as such.
