How does birth control work?

When it comes birth control, Sarah King has a wild origin story. According to family lore, she was born clutching her mom's IUD. From that outrageous beginning to today, Sarah has had quite a history with birth control.  Her totally unfiltered birth control-related questions include: How do estrogen and progesterone work together...or apart? What are the side effects of birth control? Why isn't there a birth control pill for men? (Spoiler alert: There is...sort of.) Is it OK to skips periods if you're on the pill? The guest for this episode is Dr. Chantel Roedner, an OB-GYN from WakeMed who wears her birth control on her name tag, literally. Find out more about her at www.wakemed.org.
