The copper IUD can be used for up to 12
years.
It is not FDA approved for 12 years, but
my doctor has said that I can use mine for
12 years at LEAST..
The other copper IUD T380 all over the
world are sold as 12 year IUD's.

Dont worry I just had one inserted in
December and I asked the doctor this, she
said she had hers longer than 10 years the
IUD prevents implantation. Dont worry

If IUD's are now safe? My IUD performated
my uteras, giving me peritonitis and I
almost lost my life. That was in 1968.
Are they safer now?

OH YES!!
Todays IUD's are MADE DIFFERENTLY, and
they are the LEADING birth control method
around the world!!
I got my IUD at age 21, and have loved it
since.
The IUD of 1968 was made with a string
that actually ABSORBED bacteria, todays
IUD strings DO NOT do this at all!
ULTRASOUND technology allows us better
images of the uterus to ensure proper
placement if there is a question.
BETTER SKILLS. Todays IUD's are inserted
by people with SKILL. Today's IUD
insertions require measurements of the
uterus before insertion..
Perforation today is considered an
EXTREMELY rare event.
