Greater use of long-acting and permanent methods (LAPMs) of contraception – intrauterine devices (IUD), implants, and sterilization – has the potential to increase continuation rates and reduce unintended pregnancies. In the past few years, efforts to revitalize IUD use have intensified. IUDs are highly effective and can be used for up to 10−12 years, but can also be quickly reversed with fertility returning swiftly once the device is removed.
