IUD

Get it and Forget it

This method could be right for you if:

You want one of the safest and most effective birth control methods with several options to choose from (including a non-hormonal version!).

Quick Facts

Low-maintenance birth control option inserted once into your uterus by a health care provider

Over 99% effective and is a discreet method (only you know it’s there)

Can be removed by your provider anytime if you decide you want to get pregnant

Options include hormonal IUDs (Skyla, Mirena, Kyleena and Liletta), which last between three to seven years, and the nonhormonal copper IUD (Paragard), which lasts up to 10 years

Hormonal IUDs can lighten period cramps, and in some women stop periods entirely (which is totally safe!)

The nonhormonal copper IUD doesn't mess with your body’s existing hormones

Doesn’t protect against STIs (so use a condom as well)

Requires a prescription and must be inserted and removed by a healthcare provider
