If you’ve ever thought about coming off the pill and then just... didn’t, this episode is for you. There are four fears we hear in our DMs constantly, and every one of them can keep you stuck on birth control way longer than you actually want to be on it.
We’ve been in your shoes. So we’re naming all four, and telling you honestly why none of them should be the reason you stay. Plus a few things nobody told us 10 years ago, a metaphor we can’t stop thinking about, and what to do instead of coming off cold turkey.
This is a judgment-free zone. We’re not anti-birth control. We’re pro informed consent, and this is about making sure fear isn’t the only reason you’re still on it.
