If you have had a copper IUD for close to 3 years and are considering having it removed in 3 months, there may be a risk of decreased contraceptive effectiveness. Using the device for a longer period than recommended could increase the likelihood of pregnancy. The duration of contraception with this type of IUD is determined by the amount of copper it contains on its surface. Some IUDs can be used for up to 5 or even 10 years, depending on the amount of copper.
