Did anyone catch the fact that men's birth control studies were stopped because they couldn't handle the side effects? But if woman have side effects it was overlooked for years???
Pull out.
Finally after generations it’s being discussed on the news …. 😮
Glad women are being trusted to make this decision about their own reproductive health. Happy it works for many women but hormonal birth control gave me back to back migraines with aura. Never took it after that. Better needs to be done for women.
I stopped hormonal birth control because I’m close to menopause and didn’t want to interfere with the natural cycle. My doctor agrees. This entire video focuses only on women in their twenties, except for the doctors. And that’s the problem I’m running into when looking for information online. More needs to be said about birth control options and issues for older women.
Poor boys can't tolerate birth control pills because of side effects .. I am crying and playing my violin for them. Snow flakes.
Bc sucks it’s the worst for young teens to women
Yes yes yes
The world is about making dollars not sense
A lot of Women have Chronic Vaginal Odor
Ortho makes birth control…. and pesticides too.
I can't help but see a ton of potential harm for an OTC birth control. Even though it's not a hormone, it's a synthetic one that our body reacts to just like a hormone. If someone takes multiple pills, they have a very serious chance of getting a stroke
IUD is best. It is more effective, you don’t have to think about it, and there is a nonhormonal option
Definitely want to see more accessable and long term birth control options, since parenthood is not a viable option, and obgyn care is declining rapidly in the US.
I went off my birth control, developed alopecia. Had to go back on. I legit had to shave my head.
I can't get off the pill or my entire face would be taken over by the most monstrous acne cysts known to human
I’m guessing that in about a decade, the Republicans will introduce a bill making producing offspring is mandatory
💀 ofcourse birth control for cis men study is stopped when there's side effects but woman are dealing with side effects of birth control
