Yeah I take birth control because doctors can’t be assed to figure out wtf is wrong with me and why my periods are so bad. But I’m honestly really glad you can get off it. It’s got some nasty side effects

I’ve never taken it and never will. The fact that girls are started on it that young is insane because of how toxic it is to disrupt your hormones long-term especially when you’re still growing

birth control made me feel like death. also isn’t it awesome how depo is giving people brain tumors! i <3 women’s health care 😍😍

I was very content on HBC. My skin was always clear and my periods were light and short. I didn’t have any bad side effects. My doctors took me off it after surgery and going through the change of that was really horrible and I broke out because of the hormone changes. Luckily I was able to find remedies. But also I started cycle tracking and learned so much about my body! I’ve been off HBC for 5 years and haven’t gotten any pregnancy scares and even get to enjoy not using condoms sometimes.

i just got off for the first time in 6 years and my acne is SO BAD. I never had acne before so this is really new. i also haven’t had my period in close to 3 months (no i’m not pregnant). so it hasn’t really been sunshine and rainbows for me
