Today, we have the pleasure of talking with Chelsey Forbes, who has graciously agreed to share her personal journey of decision-making and the unique experience of removing her IUD.
Deciding whether to use or discontinue any form of contraception is a deeply personal choice, and our goal today is to create a space for open dialogue, understanding, and empowerment. Chelsey's story is one of self-discovery and the strength it takes to make choices that align with one's own well-being. I greatly appreciate Chelsie’s transparency and vulnerability. In sharing her experiences we hope to shed light on the emotional and physical aspects of this decision, aiming to inspire a sense of community and support in navigating these personal choices.
So, whether you're considering the same path, have already walked a similar one, or are simply curious about the intricacies of this aspect of reproductive health, this episode is bound to provide valuable insights and perhaps even spark a broader conversation around women and individuals who can get pregnant and their health choices.
