its a birth control method. it is inserted into your uterus and it is painless, it has few side effects. it is completely safe. you can get it to last for like 3 years or 5 years. no deaths or illneses has been linked to this birth control method. your health department, or doctor can give you one. And yes it is very affective. it works great. my mother had one.

An IUD is an intrauterine device, a method of birth control. Most IUD's are made of copper which incapacitates sperm cells to prevent fertilization. They are usually very effective.

Uh oh. Your little swimmers must be over-achievers. I work with a guy whose son was conceived when he was using a condom AND his girlfriend was on the pill. I said to him "You know how they say some guys shoot blanks? You shoot armor-piercing rounds."

It is effective, and if you want to get pregnant, just go to the doctor he will remove it, and you get pregnant immediately! Is the birth control I use, no pain, no pills, I think is the best!!

They work for you mere mortals, but nothing can stop my super swimmers! I now have a 3 y/o son because my wife's IUD couldn't defend against my little Navy SeALs! Haha! :-)
