The Birth Control Bonanza

35 minutes

This week, Dr. Jen is hosting a bit of a birth control bonanza of sorts, if you will! After listening and finding the Viva La Vulva voicemail blown up with questions pertaining to contraception, she decided it was the right time to address each and wrap them into one informative episode. As an OBGYN that’s also active in the critically unwell world of social media, she knows there’s a ton of misinformation out there when it comes to the pill, IUDs, and other forms of birth control, and today, she’s setting the record straight and hitting us with the facts about how they really impact our lives, fertility, and so much more.

What's going down:

The truth about taking birth control simultaneously without a period and how it impacts fertility

A quick history lesson on birth control

The birth control blame game and understanding cause and effect

Dr. Jen’s advice for taking the natural approach to family planning

Minimizing PMDD and PMS and the role IUDs play in doing so

Why healthcare providers need to clitorally stop downplaying our symptoms

Thank you for continuing the conversation and calling into the Viva la Vulva Voicemail at (503) 893-2016! Please be sure to rate, follow, review, and remember that nothing is considered TMI around here.
