Question
I was on the pill since i was fifteen and recently switched to a hormone free iud and have been dizzy since i've told the doctor and they dont seem concernd but its affecting my day to day activities do you think it could be related?

Answer
Hi Ashley, I personally think it is possible for this to be a side effect. I kind of get annoyed at some doctors because I feel that they don't research these birth control methods correctly. I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control methods (even the pill). Would you have to have the IUD removed by a doctor? I would insist on the removal-it's your body and you can do whatever you want. Please let me know what happens. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so write soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
