Hormonal IUDs often have a not-so-great reputation online, but the evidence tells a very different story. 🤍

For many women, especially during perimenopause, they can dramatically improve:
✨ heavy menstrual bleeding
✨ iron deficiency and anemia
✨ endometriosis
✨ adenomyosis
✨ painful periods

Heavy bleeding during the menopausal transition is extremely common and can seriously impact quality of life, energy and mental health.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that hormonal IUDs “switch off” your hormones.

In reality, many women continue ovulating and maintaining their own natural hormone production while using them, even if periods become lighter or stop.

I see this intervention genuinely change women’s lives. Women deserve evidence-based information, not fear-driven misinformation.

Many people think perimenopause only starts when periods become irregular or stop.

But it’s not that simple.

Perimenopause is identified by changes in your cycle pattern — and these can be subtle at first.

Early signs can include:
• Your cycle shifting by 7+ days (shorter or longer)
• Changes happening across a few cycles
• Heavier or lighter periods than usual

Later changes may look like:
• A cycle length of 60+ days
• Missed or significantly delayed periods

Menopause itself is defined as 12 months without a period.

Importantly, you don’t need obvious or dramatic cycle changes to be in perimenopause — and age alone doesn’t define it either.

Noticing patterns in your cycle and symptoms is often the first step. 👀
