i’m so tired of the demonization of birth control. it may not be the healthiest & i wish there were more options, but just bc you had a bad experience w/ it doesn’t mean everyone else will. what doesn’t work for you can be life changing for someone else.

I’m birth control fairy and I approve this message! Part of the reason I’m so passionate about this stuff is because I could’ve been having safer sex, treating my PMDD, and having clear skin yeaaaars earlier than I did if I hadn’t been so terrified of birth control because of the demonization. Waiting almost killed me!

I went on birth control when I started dating but I also saw so so so many incredible benefits for myself beyond the preventing pregnancy part

especially when it’s women doing the nello super focus ads and saying it got their libido back after BC ruined it and that they’re never going back on BC. like girl that’s a recipe for disaster…

When my doctor told me that weight gain is not a real true side effect of birth control (there are a couple that do but mine specifically doesn’t and most don’t have that side effect) my mind was blown. The only reason that narrative has been pushed is bc most women get on it during puberty and gain weight throughout puberty or just from eating more and blame it on their BC but it’s really just their own body naturally growing not affected from the BC.

I went with nuvaring because of the ease of use. It’s not specifically researched for PMDD but uses a third generation progestin, like Yaz. It’s worked well for me!

My friend shamed me too when I went on BC too, and it helped me so much! I really hope you’re able to see results with it!
