Ep. 182: Why are women still complaining about birth control??

Why do women seem to be so fed up with birth control? I mean, they should just be grateful not to be pregnant, right? Wrong. Recently, a client sent me an article where researchers question the experience of women on birth control and I just had to respond. Maybe your own side effects and experiences have been doubted? Maybe you've been told it's all in your head? Well, that is unacceptable and today's episode dives into why. In this episode we talk about: Birth control aspects that women most often complain aboutWhat some medical professionals say about birth control Misinformation about birth control and natural birth control optionsFemale empowerment and informed decision making What the surge of fertility awareness methods suggests about womenThe power of the female community NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for all audiences due to references to libido, condoms, etc. Resources: Referenced NPR articleRestorative Reproductive Medicine AcademyBegin your own confident fertility awareness journeySubstack article: Yes, why DO women keep saying birth control has side effects? Research: https://www.bmj.com/content/388/bmj-2024-082801.longhttps://khn.org/news/large-danish-study-links-contraceptive-use-to-risk-of-depression/https://naturalwomanhood.org/new-shocking-reasons-hormonal-contraceptives-tank-womens-sex-drive/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S001078242200213X#:~:text=The%20clinical%20trial%20used%20to,peak%20mucus%20as%20a%20surrogate.Send Us a Text!Support the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!
