Getting off of birth control was probably the best thing I’ve done for my body in a long time. Th gag is I had to go through the phase of my body regulating its hormones naturally. That shit is no hoe.
I would always see that in the movies and it used to scare the shit out of me. Like what the fuck?! What kind of torture!?

So I set up an appointment with a specialist. And it just put so much into perspective to me. I have a normal period so that means my body is ovulating still! (“Yay!”)

I can control if I experience adverse symptoms, like caffeine disrupting my hormones by what I eat/drink. Stress will trigger symptoms. Something to do with adrenal gland or whatever.

A lot of those symptoms dissolved. I just don’t experience them as much anymore. And to think all doctors wanted to do was ask “do you want to have children now?” If I said no, they’d immediately recommend birth control.

Western medicine is really trading gold for scrap metal. Western medicine only “puts things off”. It’s frustrating because then I get off bc when I’m “ready” and still have to go through these changes. It’s a bunch of separate symptoms. I have to learn my body.

And for the past 2 years that’s what I’ve been doing. My body is still changing at a steady place. More on schedule. More routine. I’m feeling like home in it.
