IUD stands for intrauterine device. It is a contraceptive method that is put inside your uterus. A non-hormonal IUD is a small, copper-coated, T-shaped piece of flexible plastic. This is why it is sometimes called a copper T. The hormone-free device uses copper to prevent pregnancy. Sperm don't like copper. It changes the way sperm move so they can't get to the egg. If the sperm cannot reach the egg, pregnancy does not occur. #IUD #Pregnancy #Pregancytips #IUDtypes #nonhormonalIUD
