Hi. I’m 52 years old and in peri-menopause. I have very irregular bleeding and started the pill very recently to regulate my periods. I have a gyno appointment mid October to have an iud placed and my question is: on the morning of, do I still take my birth control pill? Thanks!!

I would continue taking it till the appt, yes. I recently got mine in in April and was on the ring. Doc said I could continue the ring for a while while my body regulates itself on the iud and that’s exactly what I did! Just took my last ring out yesterday 💔 now I’m all IUD. Hopefully with not many side effects! Ha

My hormonal IUD took 7 days to “fully protect” me so you can continue to take your pill to ensure no break in protection
