23 y/o female wanting to get copper pearls contraceptive device. can this be used with a menstrual cup? is this better than the t iud?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can: be used with cup. All copper based intrauterine contraceptives, rated at 97 - 98 % effective. This means that 2 or 3 people out of 100 users would become pregnant, over 12 months. All contraceptive methods have a potential failure rate.
