Why I Decided to Stop Taking Hormonal Birth Control & Also Had my IUD Removed - HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
✨ NOTE: this is a very personal decision. This may not be right for everyone. I am not advocating for OR against birth control, but rather doing and finding WHATS best for YOU & simply sharing my experience + perspective.
I removed all forms of hormonal / IUD birth control and decided for myself / my health to simply use cycle & fertility tracking + awareness.

if there is enough interest I may do a follow-up video on HOW I use cycle tracking as birth control!
👶 🤰 THE PILL DIDN'T WORK FOR ME
I got pregnant TWICE on the pill (the strongest possible dosage!) before being told I was "one of those women" that birth control just "DOESN'T WORK FOR" 😳
. . . I thought getting the Copper IUD would be my next best bet but less than a year later I was experiencing some unwanted side effects.
✨ MY BIRTH CONTROL TIMELINE
Age 17-19 BC (hormone) pills
(Didn’t work. I got pregnant @ 19 )
Age 20: they said it was a fluke. Back on the BC (hormone) pills (got pregnant again @ age 21)
Age 22: Copper IUD
Started feeling terrible. Bloodwork showed higher heavy metals and copper. Decided to take it out.
Age 23: REMOVED ALL OUTSIDE FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL.
^ started using cycle + fertility tracking
. . . my health has improved drastically, period symptoms improved, no more ovarian cysts and NO PREGNANCY (until I tried to get pregnant!) 🙌🏼💯💗👶🏼
