Two years? Where is the time going? It can't have been two years already. I feel old.

[@honigkuchenmuffin]

same

[@justineleconte]

Orange jacket, blue couch 👌. Perfect.

[@ellenkarlsson9490]

Justine! Didn't expect to find you here!

[@KahiFanyTaemin4ever]

Maybe an important category to add: menopause! Im only 26, but I've always felt that menopause is such a taboo subject that just isn't talked about, and I'd love to hear stories from some menopausal/post-menopause ladies to be more prepared in the future.

[@wakeuplydia]

Honestly this series and channel is one of the main reasons I don’t completely freak out as a teenager about growing up and having sex and seriously this channel is so important.

[@wakeuplydia]

Hannah Witton seriously this channel is so important for people who maybe don’t have a mother or a mother figure to tell them about this stuff and it normalises so many things this is such a helpful channel

[@ByAnnieBasson]

Preach!

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH!

[@tonydimeo1882]

Melanie Murphy I love ❤️ your videos so much

[@saffirerose9931]

Hannah taught me more about sex education than school did

[@tonydimeo1882]

Saff Rose I started watching her videos In college and this is true

[@jdurack94]

It's so sad but true (P.S I'm a Australian so it's the same over here)

[@chrishuff6254]

I've been subcribed for years and remember the first hormone diaries episode 😂 This channel was basically the sex education I didn't get in school, and now I love everything about it, not just the sex ed stuff. Bought the book so fast 😂

[@kuhud1725]

Just when I thought your channel couldn't possibly get any more inclusive or community-esque than it already was, you put out a banger of an idea like this. Your channel and the content you put out and the space you create for all of us who watch you are seriously so important, I'm forever grateful.

[@mimine12344]

I subscribed to you when you started the Hormone Diaries! Best decision ever 😜 Love this idea to collect everyone's stories 😊

[@rossignollyr]

Same thing here!

[@sssophie9292]

Emeline same! :) so glad KZbin recommended the hormone diaries to me back in the day

[@lucyhighet2746]

I think I did too, two years later!!

[@meaganmarshall8316]

Recently had a baby about a month ago and during my pregnancy I experienced relief from my bipolar II Disorder since my hormones changed so much. Would that be a story that would be allowed. It's been such a strange experience since most people can actually experience a worsening of their mood disorder during pregnancy.

[@thatjillgirl]

That's really interesting! I would think that would be very relevant and good to include since it's an experience most people probably haven't heard of.

[@piarateking8094]

i've herd this happening with other conditions too, but everyones experience is different some people there condition gets worse, some stay the same and some randomly get better during there pregnancy

[@ruthcase9215]

My anxiety and low moods improved too! And my migraines actually

[@EllieJean]

I was around just before the hormone diaries, I have watched every single one of your videos since!!

[@joshuageraldbutler8037]

Man time really does fly when your having fun! Had no idea this had been going two years!

[@fayekirwan6492]

My favourite series ever!! I’m 16 and have ovarian cysts and endometriosis and I just love that you don’t make any of it a taboo subject and you talk about it like its actually as natural as it is!!

[@SoniaOReilly]

I've been there from way before the Hormone Diaries but holy shit 2 years? Time is flying by wowie (btw i'm the person who gave you the Hufflepuff bow at Summer in the City and i'm happy you've enjoyed it :D :D) love

[@bookwormforlife421]

Got the courage to deal with my endometriosis properly and get the coil because of this series! Best thing I've ever done! No pain anymore! Thank you for sharing your journey ! (I am here since the beginning of this series)

[@ThePockyMonster]

“Uploaded 43 seconds ago” GEEZ I’ve never been this early in my life

[@via2592]

I've been here since the beginning! I remember still how excited I was for this series to start. Two years already.... woah

[@abbynash5371]

I love how clean and simple the background of this video is

[@era1945]

I’ve been watching this series from the start and have been absolutely loving it! Can’t believe it’s been 2 years already, but so excited to see where this goes!! Sending you big love from Australia Hannah💚💛

[@mattboselli1099]

Your so brave, telling your story to total strangers on the interwebs. Just keep being strong, also just keep on being you. That smily beautiful young lady. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@JeffersDesigns]

Been watching Hannah since 2014 and she's still such a kick-ass human being!

[@bryanaperry8760]

I LOVE this idea, and it is the reason I love this channel and your content. Thank you for not just being like, "Oh well, my personal contraception journey is kind of uneventful right now, so I just don't have anything to share," and instead revamping it with other people's experiences. Yay learning and growing as people!

[@PlunderingDesire1]

I just binged all of this series today because I’m right at the beginning of the process of coming off the combined pill after 9 years. Currently in the “aaaaahhhh I don’t know what to expect from my body” stage so it’s been very reassuring and informative! X

[@courtneyj9906]

I subscribed to you before you started the Hormone Diaries, but I remember getting excited for new episodes and attempting to listen to them while on my walk to work! I've enjoyed this series so much and I've learned a lot while it's been around.

[@sarahheuberger1349]

It’s been two years?! Crazy! This series is how I found your channel.

[@CrossoverGenius]

I have been subscribed since before the hormone diaries started! I can’t believe it’s been two years, that’s bonkers. I have been educated on so many topics I never knew anything about from this series.

[@55nikkiN55]

Oh my gosh i can't believe it's been 2 years already! I love these videos, they are so informative and i just find them generally interesting to hear others experiences.

[@Mooncake_Rabbit]

Hormone Diaries is how I discovered your channel, I have been here since the beginning, I'm so excited for this new chapter it's such an amazing idea!

[@IAmOneSickPuppy]

I've been around since the beginning of this series. It's my favorite on KZbin

[@zubairkarmalkar26]

Oh my lord, two years?! How has it been that long?! HANNAH, I always knew you were a KZbinr who I’d always enjoy watching your videos, but the Hormone Diaries just proves that you have stood the test of time?! It only feels like a few months ago that I saw your first HD video, but boy has it been a journey! 😭🙉🤷🏻‍♂️ Bloody love this channel 🙄😪💁🏼‍♀️🙌🏻

[@boland73]

I’ve been around much longer than when the hormone diaries first started! The first video of yours I saw (when it was a maybe 6 months old or closer to almost a year old) was Dumb Things Girls Do When They Fancy Someone and then a bunch of content from your time at uni, which I related to because I was also at university at that time! Happy 5 year anniversary! I’ve loved all the content over the years and I hope you continue sharing your life with us for years to come!

[@aimeewillems1724]

Literally couldn't tell you how many years I've been watching you and the Hormone Diaries is my fave thing! Also as a fellow manc living away from home hearing your accent is very comforting😂

[@annabelyates5219]

Oh my goodness it does not feel like I've been around for two years! I subscribed because of them when they first started (I think?) and here I am, still watching! Wow what a whirlwind of a two years this has been! Thank you for the great content, Hannah! 😊💖

[@michaella.k]

been here since before the hormone diaries whatttt! so grateful for this series Hannah, you've taught me so much at such a perfect time, the hormone diaries started when I was 16 almost 17 and I had so many questions about contraception and the like, and no one to ask🙈 so much love for you Hannah💛

[@SarahS-di1he]

I can't believe this series has been TWO YEARS! I've been around since video one and this series has had some of my favourite videos you have ever made! I love all the different voices you have included in your videos and look forward to hearing all the different voices that will be integrated into this larger project. It seems like such a clever way to continue the healthy dialogue you have started by sharing your own personal experience. Honestly I'm so thankful for you and your content, it's so educational and open and inspiring and something that makes KZbin the amazing space that it's meant to be

[@sarafmuros]

Two years?? That's crazy! The first episode inspired one of my International Baccalaureate assignments (thanks!) and I've been a huge fan of the series and your channel in general ever since.

[@xStarzx100]

The Hormone Diaries, Hannah's new book?!? Yes please!

[@Chikorita2Chante]

I've followed you for 2 years? Oh boi, time flies! I'm glad you started the series, it's what got me into watching your videos. Thank you for making it!

[@mariacopley2128]

And this is why I love you and your videos so much, Hannah

[@nymeria941]

I have been watching since the beginning, and I got my IUD right before you got the coil. It's been such a great series, and I have learned so much! I cannot wait to write in and see what everybody else has to share about this!

[@JanetSuzanne]

I can’t believe this series has been going on for 2 years! It feels like yesterday you started doing this 😊 and I have LOVED all these videos

[@michelleveilleux6738]

I've been around since the beginning of HD!! Love it.

[@courtney702]

I remember being so excited watching the first episode of this series!!:( time fliesss. love you.

[@AstronautSPIta]

I've been around from before the hormone diaries!! This is still a new series in my mind

[@ellenkarlsson9490]

2 YEARS??? Omg, time flies! I've been here for maybe 4 years. Feels like a few months

[@JuicyPricklePeach]

I have been watching since the start of the hormone diaries. I will most deff post about my experience with my period and contraception. I am excited about this. 😁 Love you ooodles and ooodles.

[@poleythepolarbear9706]

I love your choice of colors when you decide what to wear on your videos! Also I am fascinated, by these topics.

[@amycarby554]

Absolutely loved being here for this series from the beginning

[@Steph163.]

Love you Hannah you have helped me so much and given me so much knowledge. Been watching since the first episode :D I had my first smear test today and your video really helped me know what to expect

[@isabelarizvic6386]

Thank you for this series and your other videos too, of course:) I love how open you are about themes, that are mostly still a taboo.

[@emmynoether9540]

I subscribed when I watched the Let's talk about poo video. It was just so open and honest and insightful. I've watched a lot of your videos since and I just looked it up it's only been a year but I feel like it's been longer. I appreciate your channel a lot for its openness about taboo topics and also for the community in the comment section. Keep up the good work and all the best!

[@NS-gy9uv]

Wow Hannah, I can't believe it has already been 2 years since I watched the first video of The Hormone Diaries and got super excited about where the series would go. I'm so glad it has become this incredible project that could be both funny and educational 🌈

[@PumpkinSpiceLittle]

Wow, thank you Hannah. I wasn't aware I needed to get all that off my chest! Sorry for the super long reply on your blog post! That was so cathartic!!! Thank you for allowing me to share my story. xx

[@penelope_skye]

I'm so early and the new flat looks so good

[@johnfitzgerald416]

Howdy, I have actually been here since the beginning. I don't usually vocalize my thoughts online (I'm generally a lurker) but, I started watching because of a need to learn about and understand a different perspective than my own. Being male these are things I will never experience but learning about them I feel will help me to be a better person/partner.

[@emilyf8846]

I have been hear before the hormones diaries started and I can’t believe that means I have watched your vids for more that 2 years now .I have been on the progesterone only pill for over a year now and loving life just seems to work for me wish I had something interesting to share.

[@mariahill9633]

I was subscribed before the hormone diaries and loved watching the hormone diaries!

[@Gabrijela_L]

Thank you for these two incredible years! I love the series and your channel. P.S.: my diary entry to my cramps will be posted soon ^^

[@EstelaAndreetta]

I've been watching hormone diaries since you started them!! Can't believe its been two years

[@polinagonch]

been here through the whole experience and i've got to tell you that it's honestly my favourite series on youtube (and it has been since episode one) You and your hormone diaries have told me a lot of interesting and helpful stuff. Also i'm a nineteen-year-old who lives in russia so i am REALLY excited for this new project! thank you hannah 💛

[@amandamaynard]

It's amazing that this series is two years old because it also happens to be two years (to the day) since I stopped hormonal birth control. I made my choice independent of yours, but it's been so interesting to watch your videos throughout my own process and be able to relate (the BOOB PAIN!). Thanks for doing this series!

[@estereberena]

I discovered you through hormone diaries. Thought that this was the best thing in YT. These was my favorite videos.

[@SkelvinKnight]

I love you and your honesty!!

[@CollyoftheWobbles]

Been here from the start and you inspired me to do my own series where I have been sharing my story. It has braught so much to my life.

[@Crazypanda12321]

I don't think I've been here since the beginning but I have been here for a while now and it's helped so so much!

[@lucystuart7865]

Been here from the start and still love it

[@Ysarahhh]

Can’t believe it’s been 2 years! The Hormone Diaries is the reason I came off the pill and decided to try other forms of contraception

[@CJO1995]

Thank you Hannah, I subscribed to your channel right about the time you started the Hormone Diaries. I’ve learnt so much from your channel since. I never write anything but this inspired me to submit my diarie, it’s not the most interesting one but it’s mine.

[@Chelsea_e_waters]

Two years! That’s crazy, I remember watching the first episode and I hadn’t long subscribed and it’s my favourite KZbin series and Im excited to see how the project goes x

[@jeffgarlick]

I'm a 52 year old American male so I have no content to share here, unless people want BORING anecdotes, but I do have a question: Will Amazon/Audible ever make your book available in audio form here in the United States? I would be VERY interested in the content but I retain and enjoy it more if it's read and I'd LOVE to hear your book in your own SPECTACULAR voice!

[@SonsOfLorgar]

You could always share your perspective on what the channel has helped you understand and become a better man? I'm considdering to do something like that as a scandinavian man of the 1980'ies.

[@CharP13]

I’ve been around since the beginning of the hormone diaries and it’s been amazing to watch!!! Xxx

[@alexdeboer2564]

I actually subscribed to the channel because of the hormone diaries! Somewhere around the time the "trying a menstrual cup" video went live (which was the first video of this channel that I saw, and it convinced me to get one myself!)

[@cathysimcock9691]

This series has been one of my favourites since the start! I've been watching your videos for around 4 years...at a guess

[@LiveyBeha1]

Ugh I love this so much

[@sophiegun5983]

There's no way it's already been two years! I'm turning eighteen in a few weeks and I can't have only been 16 when you started this, I and you as well can't have changed and grown so much while remaining in some sense the same. I find this series so interesting especially as a cis woman who most likely will never need or have to use contraception.

[@yzawhite2750]

Damn, I can't believe I've been following you for 2 years already. Time flies so fast, geez.

[@loz_nz]

I have been watching since the beginning! Watching The Hormone Diaries inspired me to try a menstrual cup which I now love the convenience of and love that it's less waste

[@lucileec4495]

I'm SO EXCITED about it!!!!!!

[@jazzroussel2743]

Hannah i love this idea, i feel like it’s going to be like when you discuss with your friends about how your body works and they are just so shook and curious about it ! i am so excited to write my story and maybe share it :)

[@muzikluvr312]

I always get so excited when I see a new Hormone Diaries episode has gone up. I think the project idea is brilliant! Now I have even more to be excited for!! Now to start working on my entry..haha ✍💋📖

[@suziejmm]

So excited about what's coming next for this series, it's always been one of my favourite things you work on. (And I have been subscribed since you were at uni in Birmingham, so wayyy before hormone diaries... I think it's been nearly 6 years :o )

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

While sad about the lack of Hormone Diaries, I guess it's good that you've finally found something that works for you!

[@marysiamilach8460]

I NEEDED THIS DURING MY PUBERTY SO 👏 SO 👏 MUCH! Hannah, you are literal angel 💖

[@CharlotteBrennan14]

I've been here since the beginning and it's been a wild ride

[@flylikekatie]

Guuuurl I’ve been watching you since your uni days! I love this idea as much as I love your jacket omg

[@ChaosInSpace]

Oooh can't wait to see this new part of the series take form. Will definitely have to think of something to send in for this! 💛💛💛💛💛

[@natalief2508]

i remember when you started the series! i think i'd been watching for a few years already when you started it but seeing your journey through coming off the pill and getting the coil in has been really interesting!!

[@ErikaSteinholt]

I remember when you started this and I was so excited (still am) to learn! I've too got the coil and its the best. Love from Norway

[@esthermuller3531]

Been there since the beginning and I've enjoyed every bit of it!

[@BellaHardcastle]

I can't believe it's been two years, I've watched every episode and it don't feel like two years!

[@christina8738]

I love this idea!!! Also, I've been here for the whole two years of the Hormone Diaries and it has been so fun watching and going on that journey along with you. It's a great idea to include other voices in this and I think we have a great community so I can't wait to see the end result! PS: can I just say that this orange jacket is probably THE single best piece of clothing you've ever worn in a video? (and that says a lot, considering how cute I find pretty much all your clothes)

[@janelleh]

A diva cup update would be interesting to hear about, when you tried it it was hilarious and awesome to see another person trying and talking about it.

[@GBlivingmyTruth]

Ive been here since the beginning, Ive loved it

[@ICRY2]

I think this would be great as a podcast like one for each type of contraception and seeing how it’s different for each person

[@NicoleeKemp]

Im so excited to do this! I think my experiences might be way too long to get out but it covers a variety of different situations

[@imrenagadee3578]

I started following because of this series!

[@whichonespink7]

Hannah, have you seen the documentary "The Bleeding Edge" on Netflix? It talks about inter-uterine contraception gone wrong and I thought of you because many people experienced autoimmune-related side effects. It might give you some insight into whether or not the coil contributed to your colitis flareup.

[@samanthamalone2464]

YESSS to this project, you are fab!

[@StarMintaka]

Hannah, I love you so much! I'm so excited for this project, gonna write a shitload of stories! Also, your jacket is so cool

[@Bookworm5589]

Two years?! Wow I have been here since the beginning ❤️
