This detailed guide covers all the current available methods to control your fertility and prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Intrauterine Devices or IUDs are small T shaped devices inserted into the uterine cavity to prevent pregnancy. They work locally and not systemically like pills or shots (less side effects). Copper IUD have no hormone, Levonorgesterol IUDs have a progestin hormone to thin the endometrial lining. They can last from 3 to 10 years long. Some women are great candidates but it is not without risk such as ectopic pregnancy or PID. Learn if this great device is for you.
