Why I Don’t Use Hormonal Contraceptives. Feat. Fiddle leaf fig care tips!

Sometimes imitating nature just doesn’t cut it. Our body can tell.. probably like this poor fiddle leaf fig!
Hormonal birth control imitating nature ain’t a vibe, gang!

A monthly bleed when you’re on the pill isn’t a period. It’s a withdrawal bleed from stopping the flow of synthetic hormones that trick your body into thinking it’s pregnant so you won’t ovulate and are therefore rendered infertile as long as you take it.

“Hormonal contraceptives where the first drugs ever developed to shut down a perfectly normal & healthy process in the body, essentially treating your fertility as an illness that requires treatment.

The idea that your periods can be suppressed by hormones for years on end with no health consequences is not only false, its dangerous.” - @fertilityfriday

Hormonal contraceptives use synthetic versions of your sex hormones and basically fuck with your endocrine system. And whether or not you plan to have kids, maintaining a healthy ovulatory menstrual cycle (not a fake one where you don’t ovulate or have a true period) is important for preserving optimal health.

If you don’t ovulate then you can’t get a real period and therefore won’t feel any real symptoms that would usually be indicating to you that something is amiss with your health or body. The menstrual cycle is literally a vital sign that tells you when your health needs looking at or something needs to change in your lifestyle or diet.

When docs bandaid solution you with hormonal contraception for complaints like painful or irregular periods, skin issues, or other menstrual cycle abnormalities, they are literally just shutting off your body’s alarm system and muting the messages your bod is trying to send you. It may help the symptoms for the time being but it never addresses the underlying issues or facilitates healing on any real, sustainable level.

Not to mention the very real side effects of these synthetic hormonal methods - I’ll pop them in the comments as I’ve run out of room! Please make sure you read them to inform yourself! And share this far and wide! Xx
