The copper IUD is a T-shaped plastic device wrapped in copper wire. The hormonal IUD is a T-shaped plastic device that contains 52 milligrams of levonorgestrel (progestin hormone). Both are long-acting reversible contraceptive methods. The copper IUD is effective for 10 years and the hormonal IUD is effective for three to five years.
