Could i have a copper iud?

Likely: IF you are in need of birth control, are not pregnant, do not have a copper allergy and do not actively have undiagnosed vaginal bleeding or current pelvic infection, you can likely have a copper IUD

Yes: unless you are allergic to copper or have an active infection but at age 49, I wouldn't

Yes!: The CopperIUD is one of the BEST forms of birth control available. Non-hormonal (no effect on fertility/acne/headaches/nausea/wt gain/bloating/blood clots) and VERY safe (except if you have Wilson's dz/Copper allergy). Only risk is a heavier period and complications w/ insertion (RARE). Immediately effective to prevent pregnancy, but DOES NOT protect against STIs. OK for women who haven't had kids
