Copper Or Progestin IUD

Shop on Amazon

A copper intrauterine device is a long-acting, highly effective form of contraception that can be used for up to 10 years. It’s a non-hormonal option, so it avoids the systemic hormonal effects that can affect mood, inflammation, or adaptation, and it’s considered appropriate even for younger women and those who haven’t had children.

The copper IUD and the Mirena or, you know, your progestin-laced IUD, those are what a lot of my tactical athletes will use because it doesn't have a systemic effect on adaptation or inflammation, mood, any of those things.
