Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. I have gone through your query and here are the answers. 1.There is no 100% safe procedure. Every method has its own side effects. Yet, Copper-T is considered to have lesser side effects and more efficacy. 2. Some people experience heavier bleeding with the IUD, especially during the initial months. If this persists, the IUD should be removed and an alternative method of contraception is chosen. 3. Weight gain is not a problem as it is not hormonal. Likewise, there is no hindrance to breast feeding. 4. If you are asking for other ways of birth control, there are several options available. You can get details from your health care provider. 5. There is no medication in the IUD. Hence, adjustment should be immediate. Hope this helps.
