The Copper IUD is a form of birth control that is immediately effective and does not need additional hormonal supplementation to prevent pregnancy. Plan B is a hormonal emergency contraceptive for use by a person who had sex while not protected with any other contraceptive. It can cause side effects such as irregular bleeding, spotting, nausea. Do not use Plan B while using the IUD.
