An IUD is an intrauterine device used to prevent unwanted pregnancies and regulate/reduce the periods.

No I've only used the pill and my body has been sensitive to the hormones (lots of infections) so I'm scared to put something in my body I'd have to get removed if I had a reaction. And I know to many people who have had trouble with them stepmoms fell down in was not where it was supposed to be and was kind of making a crazy and my aunt was allergic to the copper and one of them and my other aunts friend it grew into her uterus

Thats not true. If your already at risk for cancer, anything that has estrogen can increase your risk. Its not the IUDS fault

I have an IUD. I had major problems with my cycle for my entire life (since age 12) and nothing helped. I've had the IUD for about a year and I have minimal cramping and almost no period. I have heard of serious complications from it though, if it has been inserted incorrectly.
