There are two methods used by IUDs sold in the United States. One way is by the encouragement of Mucuse production to create a barrior to the sperm. This is the method of the Mirena IUD which secretes progestin for this purpose.

The copper ParaGard IUD does not have hormones. It works by activating enzymes in the lining of the uterus, which prevents the implantation of an egg.
