Hi venus69

In the United States, there are two types of IUDs available: the Mirena which continuously releases hormones for up to five years, and the ParaGard Copper T 380A IUD which contains copper and can be worn for up to 12 years. IUD's are effective as soon as they are inserted.

But if you are having infections,I would just tell him you want it changed.
Don't even give him an OPTION...
Good luck,let us know how this turns out,Melinda
