That sounds like an IUD, actually. Can you confirm the method? Copper IUDs can occasionally cause some severe problems, as the copper does get absorbed by the body over time. By itself, not an issue, but can cause medical problems in long-term, say when a medication will react with copper, there's now a higher concentration of copper in the body, more reaction, can trigger illness.
I'm also not a fan of IUDs... But that's for a different forum. ;-)
