It’s been so long since I put out a new podcast, but beH this will be followed by more in quicker succession! We have a lot to discuss. 😉
Let’s talk IUDs (intrauterine devices)!
Taharas HaMishpacha adds another dimension to the “IUD conversation” for frum women. I’m here to make sure you have the info you need when making contraceptive choices.
In Part 1: what they are, where you get one, how much they cost and how they work.
In Part 2: picking the right IUD, pros & cons, and side effects (aka the jucier stuff!)

For more background information on Niddah and the insertion/removal of IUDs, check out this link. Note that the rabbanim for Yoatzot follow R’ Moshe Feinstein’s psak of 19mm for width, but there are others that are significantly stricter. Each woman should consult with her own LOR/Rav. https://www.yoatzot.org/family-planning/575/#iud
