The new IUDs are being recommended by leading medical professionals as a first-line birth control choice for adolescents*. They have been redesigned from those you may have known about in the past. They are safe and effective for women who have never been pregnant or given birth including teens.
Not only are the new IUDs extremely safe, they are the most effective method of birth control available. They do not impair future fertility, and they do not increase the risk of STDs and HIV.
- So easy to use -- no daily pill to remember or prescription to fill
- They last for at least 7 years
- They are over 99.5% effective
