Copper iud - is it effective ?

Hi mummies, i am a few months post partum, as i went thru traumatic e-csect, i was thinking of getting copper iud as contraceptive method. However i read quite alot eventually still got pregnant with iud. Noted that all contraceptive are not 100% preventive. Can mummies whos been on copper iud share your experience while on it: is it painful during insertion, when its inside you etc - will it be painful when doing intercouse - Side effects: hair loss, weight gain, period, mood, pimples etc - period still regular? And is it extra heavy? - does it affect fertility after removing - do you still use protection when on contraceptive?

I had the copper IUD put in after my second and honestly it has been fine for me, insertion was uncomfortable but over quickly and my gynae at KKH was very reassuring throughout. The main thing I noticed is my period did get heavier for the first few months, but it settled down, and since it has no hormones there were no mood or skin changes for me at all.
