In this episode, I discuss the main differences between the Mirena and the copper IUD - and what exactly both is doing within your body. 


Topics mentioned:

  • My favourite form of contraception and why, and what I personally use
  • Hormonal vs non-hormonal contraception methods
  • Copper IUD permitting natural ovulatory cycles
  • Which of the two methods increase and decrease your menstrual blood flow
  • What side effects are associated with the Mirena (contraceptive drug levonorgestrel)
  • Mirena suppressing ovulatory cycles some of the time
  • How I would rank each contraception method on least to most impactful on the body.
