The Copper T IUCD is safe.
It is a copper coil wound round a plastic T frame.
Copper T works by simply occupying space in the uterus, at the same time copper ions are released from the coil, creating a mild electrochemical reaction on the endometrial wall. This prevents implantation of an fertilised egg.
Copper is mineral required by the body for certain cellular functions. The amount copper ions released by copper T is low and doesn't lead to toxicity.

Pregnancy have been known to occur at times, when the device fails but this is rare.

sexmatters has said it all. ild just add dat u check wt ur finger after every menese to ensure d string is still there, coz occasionaly there r cases of displacement. also when wearin d IUCD, ensure strict hygine to prevent infections. cheers!

to add to what has been said above,hygiene is very important, also some people react to it.
