Personal Experiences with Birth Control

The speaker shares her journey through different forms of birth control, starting with the IUD, which she used for eight years. During this time, she discovered that her uterus was tilted backward, a fact that had not been revealed to her previously, highlighting how individual anatomy can affect reproductive health. Later, an ultrasound revealed that she had a bicornuate uterus, resembling a heart shape, which affected the placement and effectiveness of the IUD. This realization led her to conclude that the IUD was not the most suitable option for her body, prompting her to explore other methods.
