How long does the IUD last?

Between 3 and 12 years, depending on which kind you get. Skyla is approved for up to 3 years and Kyleena is approved for up to 5 years. Mirena and Liletta are both approved for up to 8 years. The non-hormonal, copper IUD is approved for up to 10 years but lasts for at least 12.

Still not working?

Even though IUDs can last for years, you can still have your IUD removed anytime. No questions asked.
