Ep 006: Birth Control - A Tough Pill to Swallow

09/30/19 • 34 min

Condoms alone as a type of birth control are kinda lame. 85% effectiveness? Buck up sis... Meanwhile, the pill been DELIVERING at 99% - it also lightens periods, reduce menstrual cramps, clears acne and even helps boobs grow. But while it can work for some, it may potentially mess others up because we all have differing level of hormones.

On this episode, two precious friends of mine share their opposing experiences with the pill; while one swears by it, the other has had a series of misfortunes with this hormonal contraceptive. Tune in to understand how the pill works, what you should look out for, and some (better) alternatives that are growing in popularity. (IUD, IUD, IUD!)
