Did you know that the pill was the very first medication that was prescribed to perfectly healthy women to treat something that was not a health problem? 

 

Instead, it works by shutting down a completely natural process of the female body – ovulation. 

 

The pill has been responsible for many changes in our society since it was first put on the market in 1960 and it’s now estimated that there are about 10 million women using the pill worldwide. 

 

But, how well do you really know what effect that tiny little pill is actually having on your body? 

 

Here’s What We’re Talking About:

• How the pill actually works to prevent pregnancy.
• Long & short-term side effects of hormonal contraception.
• How long it takes for your fertility to return after stopping hormonal contraception.
• How to come off the Pill without freaking out about unplanned pregnancy.
