An IUD is an intra-uterine device that prevents pregnancy for up to five years. It is an excellent choice for many women, but is recommended most for women who have already had children because it is easier to implant through a cervix which has been opened than one that has never given birth.

There are also implants that go under the skin of the upper arm. Norplant is one of these type. It also should stop pregnancy from happening for up to several years. Some women find this very convenient and effective, but some have reactions to the hormones used. You should stay in open communication with your doctor to be sure you choose the Birth Control method best for you.
