8 Facts About the Pill You Didn’t Know: Deep Dive with Cody EP130

Send us Fan MailMost of us have been on hormonal birth control (aka the pill and hormonal IUD) at some point – in fact, there’s a statistic that 98% of women have taken it at least for a little while in their lifetime. Many of us take it for a long time – 5, 10, 15, and even 20+ years.It is handed out as easily as candy at the doctor’s office and many women don’t really even think about it as a medication – it’s like it falls into its own bucket.But it is for sure a medication – and it is designed to stop ovulation to prevent pregnancy. It’s also prescribed often as a “fix” for things like acne, PMS, heavy periods, and more. Which totally bugs us to no end!Hopefully doctors prescribing it tell you the warnings – potential for blood clots and stroke – but too many times we’re told it’s those things are rare. So it almost feels like it’s this magic potion that can help solve so many problems women are faced with.Really, though, is it?Cody lays it all out for us in todays episode. She shares all about the untold secrets about hormonal birth control, about different forms of non-hormonal birth control and how to transition off of hormonal birth control in a healthy way.Did you learn something new today?
