The Copper IUD is not a store but a contraceptive product. It is an Inter Uterine Device that is inserted in the uterus and prevents the mobility of sperm by the release of ions.
Yes, the copper IUD can stop working after 5 years if it is one of the brands that only lasts for 5 years. If you're unsure which type of IUD you've got (e.g. whether or not it is the 5 year copper IUD) you may want to consider getting a new IUD, next time maybe consider a 10 year IUD.
There are two categories of IUDs on the market in the US in 2013. The copper IUD, Paragard, is one type. The hormonal IUDs, containing levonorgestrel, are Mirena and Skyla.

One side effect of using a copper IUD is menstrual problems, spotting between periods. Additional side effects may include perforation and expulsion.
Because of its location and method of action, no medications affect the Paragard copper IUD. That's one of its great benefits.
From personal experience absolutely nothing! If your IUD is not a copper one but one that has a slight amount of hormones (same as mine) then nothing. :P
buy one from a store.
you go to a store and buy one
One of the side effects of IUDs are heavier menstrual periods. I personally don't like IUDs because they can be very dangerous.
Electrical supply store or building supply stores. Check with you local contractor and see where he gets it from.
Well, I had my copper IUD out three days ago. I have had it for 6 or 7 years and absolutely LOVE IT! With the exception that I am one of the like 5% that got an infection from having the IUD. There were NO symptoms to this infection and it showed up in a routine pap. Anyway, that is why I had to have my IUD taken out. Now to answer your question , at least in my case, all they used were what I believe they call hemastats??? not sure. any way they are like a very thin needle nose plier. Everyone told me this wouldn't hurt. Dont get me wrong it did not hurt BAD. but it did feel rather uncomforitable when they took it out. maybe it was because of the infection that I had. They had no problem pulling it out. Maybe they would have used more tools if they had a problem.
