How effective is an IUD??

I am thinking about getting an IUD b/c I know I will not be ready to have anymore kids within the next 3 year. Just wanted to get some feedback first.

How effective is an IUD??
Everything has some kind of fail rate, and the only way to know 100% no fail rate is to tie your tubes and remove ovaries.





That being said, i do believe that an IUD has a very high success rate, thought i would suggest using a condom with spermicide to double the protection, but 99.9% of the time IUD's work very well.





Another good one is the 5 yr birthcontrol that is placed in the arm. That is very good in it's rate of protection.
Reply:It's not really 99.9% effective. It still allows the sperm to meet with the egg. What happens frequently if the sperm meets with the egg is that controversial thing called an abortion. The fertilized eggs can't attach to the uterine wall and get flushed out. The copper ones cause the sperm to not live as long so that helps. The hormonal ones and just change the lining of the uterus so the egg won't stick. Both can cause stomach cramps that might feel worse than regular cramps. Do your homework to see which one sounds the best for you. Just in case you are against abortion this might not be the one for you.

An intra-uterine device (intra meaning within, and uterine meaning of the uterus) is a birth control device also known as an IUD or a coil (this colloquialism is based on the coil-shaped design of early IUDs). It is a device placed in the uterus and is the world's most widely used method of reversible birth control,[1] currently used by nearly 160 million women (just over two-thirds of whom are in China where it is the most widely used birth control method, surpassing sterilization).[2] The device has to be fitted inside or removed from the uterus by a doctor or qualified medical practitioner. It remains in place the entire time pregnancy is not desired. Depending on the type, a single IUD is approved for 5 to 10 years use

Reply:99.9 % effective against pregnancy, but ineffective against STDs.
