Hi Stacey,

I almost didn't see your post way down here.

A Mirena IUD http://www.mirena-us.com/ is good for 5 years and a ParaGard http://www.paragard.com/ (Copper-T) is effective for 10 years. Fertility should return almost immediately after removal of an IUD. You might want to talk with your doctor about which would be right for you. Let us know what you decide, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
