Depends on the kind. Hormonal ones like mirina need to be out in five years. Para gard can be left longer, close to ten years.
It depends what kind of IUD you have. If it is Mirena, it comes out in 5 years, and if it is CU IUD, it comes out in 10 years, and if it is Skyla, it comes out in 3 years.
Copper iud’s are good for approx. 10 years . Progesterone ones (Mirena) are good for 5
It depends on the type of IUD placed. It ranges from 3 through 10 years. So refer to the type placed and follow the manufacturer's recommendation. Remember, you may have the device removed anytime you are ready for your next child.

Depends what kind of IUD was used, hormonal or non hormonal. Hormonal usually last 3 to 5 years.

Answer depends on what kind of IUD (Copper T or hormone IUD) you have in your uterus. Also depends on the country it was placed in. Please see your OBGyn sooner than later so that they can help you figure out if you do not know the kind of IUD you have.
Take care!

That answer depends on the type of IUD that was placed and their recommended time for removal. You need to get that information from whom ever inserted it for you.

It depends on the type of IUD. Paragard is 10 years. Mirena lasts for 5 years. Some others are less than 5 years.
It depends on the IUD. Your doctor should have discussed this with you. Skyla is 3 years, Mirena and Kyleena 5 years and Paraguard is 10 years.
