You asked so we’re answering! Between the two of us, we’ve tried almost every hormonal birth control under the sun. This means that we can talk to the mood swings, hormonal shifts and libido spikes! If you’re wondering any of the following, this eppy is a must listen: 1. I’m sexually active but I don’t want to get pregnant yet, are there non-hormonal options? 2. I just got an IUD but now I have horrible cystic acne, wtf?! 3. Is there a type of hormonal birth control that helps with mood swings? 4. Does birth control really affect fertility? Should I get off it if it’s not affecting me badly? 5. How can I navigate a hormonal imbalance with an IUD? 6. Is there a progesterone only pill! How is it different form a combination pill? 7. You mention the pill on your page, but is other hormonal birth control ring/iud) bad? 8. What changes did you notice when you stopped taking hormonal birth control? 9. How does birth control affect sex drive? I’m on the pill and have no sex drive. 10. I hear too much about how birth control affects us and how we shouldn’t use it long term, but there’s no clear information?!
