// My experience going off the birth control pill after 8 years! In this video, I share why I went off hormonal birth control, side effects I dealt with (acne, irregular cycles, libido, feeling my emotions), & how I'm supporting my body to regulate my cycle. I am not a medical professional nor am I shaming anyone for taking hormonal birth control. This is merely my personal experience... I hope this video is informative if you are embarking on this journey! 💛
