A Copper T IUD is a safe, long-term contraceptive and can typically remain in place for up to ten years, so using it for two years is practically safe. Common side effects include heavier or irregular periods and cramping, which usually improve after the first few months. It is very unlikely to break on its own, but there is a small risk that the device may move out of place or be partially expelled.
