Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion copper T is the first and best option as contraceptive as it has less sideeffects compared to hormonal ones.Its lifespan will be like 3 yrs,5yrs,10yrs etc.So you can choose any of it.Copper T in a few woman cause pain abdomen,excessive and intermenstrual bleeding.If you face such sideeffects you can remove the copper T and go for another option.Hormonal pills and injections cause weight gain,irregular periods and spotting and no periods sometimes.So try copper T first and then if not ok you can go for hormonal injections or pills.
