Depends: If you have copper allergy dont use it, otherwise you should be fine here are the ci: have a sexually transmitted infection (sti) currently or had one within the past 3 months. Are not willing to use condoms to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections. Have an active infection of your vagina or cervix. Have pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) or have a recent history of pid. Have a bleeding disorder or take blood-thinners (anticoagulants). Your doctor may not recommend a copper iud, but you may be able to use a hormonal iud. Have a history of problems with iuds. Have never been pregnant (you are more likely to have pain with an iud and are more likely to have the iud come out after it is inserted). Have abnormalities of your uterus. Have a uterine infection after childbirth or a septic abortion. Have uterine bleeding of unknown origin. Have an allergy to copper, so the copper iud would not be an option.
