THCYM | WHAT IS AN IUD?

In this episode we discuss what an Intrauterine Device (IUD) is, the difference between a copper and hormonal IUD, how you book an appointment and what to expect, and we talk a bit about my story and some listener stories. 

Of course, once again, these things are super individual. What works for one person isn’t necessarily going to work for another. Always, ALWAYS make sure you have a thorough appointment with your GP and talk through all the options to see what works for you. Your GP should be able to provide you with the necessary information so you can go back and have a think about it and decide for yourself. Remember how important it is to listen to your body and do what is best for YOU.
