I have one more episode in the birth control series for you today - a much requested episode on the hormonal IUD. I'm covering how the hormonal IUD works, how the Mirena, Skyla, and Kyleena IUDs are different, and how you can support your body during and after IUD use for happier hormones.
I'm answering questions like "what should I expect from my cycle with an IUD?" and "Will I ovulate with an IUD?"
Birth control is a deeply personal choice and I really believe that women should have informed consent when it comes to this topic - which means getting so much more information than you would typically get at a doctor's visit!
The bottom line is this: Whatever choice you make can always be made better with good nourishment, good detox support, and learning to interpret the rhythms in your body so you can have more energy, periods without pain, and a stable mood all month long (even during PMS week).
If you're ready to get off of birth control and wanting to conceive in the next year come join us in Nourish Your Hormones so you can not only replenish + recover post birth control but you can set a foundation of nourishment for both you and baby during your pregnancy and beyond.
