They're are one of the most effective forms of birthcontrol and they're effective immediately.

u mean an intrauterine device. IUD for short. They work as long as it's in her. Like all other types of birth control there is a slight chance she could still get pregnant. about 1%. if u really dont want to have kids now, use a condom also. hope this helped!

That's right. It's an IUD and they are extremely effective, but she should really be careful with that. I think if they are in too long they can make you sterile (over 5-7 years) just FYI
