IUD Side Effects & How to Get Help If You Experience Them

with podcast guest

Tamara Wilder

share

Tamara Wilder is the founder of IUD Awareness and an admin of the IUD Side Effects Support Group on Facebook. After her body reacted very poorly to getting a Paragard copper IUD inserted in 2014, Tamara went in search of answers after her doctor repeatedly assured her that all of her strange and worsening symptoms could not be related to the IUD. Upon removal of the IUD, some of her symptoms went away almost immediately and within 2 days most of the rest were improving dramatically!

In this episode, we talk about the early warning signs and serious symptoms associated with IUDs, why so many of us miss those symptoms, the lack of fully informed consent around birth control, where you can find support, and more. Tamara shares some eye-opening information on this episode about IUDs that everyone should know!
