I have a Paragard T 380A IUD right now. When I got in put it in May 2001 my Doctor told me it would be effective untill May 2011 which is great but now I keep hearing that the same brand name can now be left in for up to 12 years which would make it effective untill May 2013 (numerous websites with medical expert advice and also contrception.com says the same thing) anyone else heard about this? Thanks

I have that IUD and I was always told 7-10 years. so far, my doctor hasn't changed that number on me. i'm in my 6th year and I'm not really sure how long it'll be before I have to get it changed. but I'll do what my doctor tells me.

I've always heard they're effective for 10 years. I have the mirena IUD and it's effective for 5 years. Your doctor would know best.

You should go off of what your doctor said. They may have changed how it is made since you had your IUD placed.

pills can always fail and so can everything else on the market
