IUD
Intra Uterine Devices
What is an IUD?
An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small object that is inserted through the cervix and placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. A small string hangs down from the IUD into the upper part of the vagina. The IUD is not noticeable during intercourse. IUDs can last 1-10 years. They affect the movements of eggs and sperm to prevent fertilization. They also change the lining of the uterus and prevent implantation. IUDs are 99.2-99.9% effective as birth control. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS

Abstinence is the only one. Condoms are 90% effective.

I would suggest talking with your OBGYN, they can give you all the information on all the contraceptives out there.
