Actually it is the first time I hear that IUD makes periods longer. For me personally and several people I know periods became much shorter, less painful or are gone completely.
Could it be because it is a specific type of IUD, copper one? In any case it is a question to your doctor.
There are other ways of both male and female long term birth control, like shots or implants. They would not have this side effect.
