The IUD

IUDs are T-shaped intrauterine devices (IUD) that over 150 million people with a uterus world-wide have trusted as the most effective form of birth control. Depending on which IUD you choose, it can provide birth control for 3, 5 or even 10 years. There are two main types of IUDs available in Canada.
