Anon,
Copper T is an effective contraceptive and is one of the most immensely used methods of birth control worldwide. The failure rate is considered only 1% and may be this is the reason why many women use this method to remain stress free.

Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thanks for your question. Cramping often occurs at the time of IUD insertion and may last one to two days thereafter. Backache may accompany cramping. Taking a non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen an hour before insertion helps reduce pain and cramping. Some women feel lightheaded and dizzy at the time of insertion. Heavy periods are the most common side effects. Would these side effects change the way you feel about the Copper T?
Best,
Daisy
