Hi Hon. I had an IUD put in at 20 when I was getting married. I felt a temporary twinge of pain but then again I have hight pain tolerance. I never felt it again. No cramps or heavier periods. Every woman is different.
However I do want to point out that there are two basic IUDs, the Mirena which does use contraceptives in its makeup and the copper IUD. The copper s properties act to inhibit the ability of a fertilized egg to implant. The walls of the womb become too slippery or hostile for implantation so it flushes out. There is a lot to read up on the 'copper IUD'. Just put that in a web search. Of all the contraceptives, it has the highest efficiancy rate next to having the tubes tied. In the long run, it is also more cost effective. You put it in and it's good for 10 or so years on some.

Question: "will I feel it once in and during sex?" No and neither will your partner. There is also a string you can feel for that will hang down from your cervix along the inner side of your vagina. This string is so that you can check and make sure the IUD is still in place. Neither you or your partner should feel this string during intercourse.
Question: "does an IUD mess up your hormones like birth control does?" No an IUD does not mess with your hormones. There are reports that and IUD does cause heavier menstrual flow during your period. You may also experience strong period cramping.
Question: "does it hurt getting put in and taken out?" My wife told me it was very painful having her IUD put in as the doctor had to dilate her cervix. Since she had not had children yet this was a very painful procedure for her. It was less painful having it removed.
Pain is a relative thing. What is painful for one person may be more or less painful to another. This is why doctors ask you to rate your pain on a scale of one to ten with ten being the worst pain you have ever felt. My wife rated hers a six.
Question:how " how effective is it?" The IUD has a failure rates of 0.2% in the first year of use. According to the " Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland (2012-03-28). The Johns Hopkins manual of gynecology and obstetrics. "
I believe this answers all your questions. I hope you find this helpful.
Note: Having sex with a good friend is like loaning money to a good friend, It is a great way to ruin a friendship. Something to consider.
