Yes, the Copper T (copper IUD) is highly safe and extremely effective for a two-year period. While it can prevent pregnancy for up to 5 to 10 years, it can be easily removed by a doctor at any time when you decide to conceive, with a rapid return to fertility. If you are considering alternatives, highly effective options include: Hormonal IUDs (levonorgestrel) or implants (etonogestrel), which are also long-acting and reversible. Daily contraceptive pills (combined or progestin-only). Injectable contraceptives (medroxyprogesterone acetate) are taken every three months. Barrier methods like condoms, which also protect against infections. Discuss with your gynaecologist to choose the best option for your body.
