Choosing a birth control method is arguably a major decision that almost every woman has to make at some point. So why aren't we better educated on our options?
What form of birth control is best for YOU? What are the risks to hormonal birth control (that your Dr. likely won't tell you)? Is "natural" family planning for everyone? Why or why not?
Since I personally am not (yet) certified in teaching FAM (the Fertility Awareness Method), I wanted to bring on Vanessa Saskia Oly- an expert on hormonal health and FAM education- to discuss your options for birth control and how to get started with FAM (if that's what's right for you). We bust some myths about its reliability, as well as dive into the different ways you can track your cycle, and even how tracking your cycle can tell you about your overall health including your thyroid and stress. We answer all the questions you asked about the copper IUD, hormonal IUDs, and give you the info you need to make and educated, informed decision.
Although every form of birth control could have its own episode entirely (maybe we'll do that one day?), this is a great jump start to getting started whether
1. FAM is the right option for you
OR
2. It may not be the right season for you to jump into natural planning, but either way this episode will help make your decision about birth control easier and leave you feeling more confident!
Happy periods, my friend ♡
