"In fact, the FDA did issue a recall for Yaz back in November 2009 [...] The reason [many people] don't know anything about this is because the recall was buried in an "Enforcement Report" section of the FDA's website."

You can read more about this here if you’d like: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-you-know-the-fda-recalled-bayers-yaz-contraceptive-neither-did-anyone-else/. Unfortunately, the side effects and health concerns I experienced as a direct result of taking YAZ were very real.

Thanks for breaking down information about birth control and the IUD incertion process. It sounds like you are a great nurse and mid wife. Your clients are lucky to have you. It sounds like my article made you think that I’m accusing all medical professionals of malpractice and providing inadequate information. This experience only reflects the OB-GYN I visited. It doesn’t invalidate you or other ethical health care professionals.

Luckily, there are thousands of amazing doctors, OB-GYNs, mid wives, and doulas out there supporting women and queer people.

Wishing you the best,
