It's an intra-uterine device. It's a method of birth control that is inserted into your uterus by a doctor. There a two types, one is called the Paragard and it has no hormones, the other is the Mirena, which is hormonal and more like the pill. The Paragard lasts for 9 years and the Mirena lasts for 5. They are both great long-term birth controls, and you don't have to worry about taking a pill every day.
