My Thoughts on the Daysy

[@alicec.6195]

I almost died because of hormonal birth control. I wouldn't worry about the price.

[@TrueChristina]

I just got mine in the mail this week, so excited to hear/learn about this method! I never felt comfortable putting hormones in my body and this is just what I was looking for.

[@FemmeHead]

Awesome to hear. Enjoy it. I love mine.

[@abeniaben8740]

@@FemmeHead hii..i like your channel so much want to try this monitor so much can you please help to purchase this monitor I'm from India delivery is not available here

[@jessicapalmer346]

I love my Daysy! It has really helped me transition from hormonal birth control to FAM. Using it along with tracking my CM and Cervix position it has really been a cool addition to my charting.

[@joyb5353]

How do you track your CM and cervix position?

[@Caroline96100]

Wow this is super cool! I freaking love your channel! I'm not even sexually active but I love this method already. Hormonal birth control scares me and having control and knowledge of my body is so empowering and reassuring! This is amazing ❤️

[@notinzane]

I literally just got this with your code !!! Thank you for being here and informing about all this, it really has helped me feel better and safer getting off the pill ♡♡♡

[@gabbyburns8854]

how much was is with the code applied ?

[@panda-rama2646]

Or you could just buy any other basal body thermometer and download any tracking app and it works the same. Only difference is I used it to GET pregnant. I spent $3 on a BBT thermometer and used the Glow app for free. So much cheaper

[@cons243]

would you please make a very detailed video about the method that you use? I know you made one about fertility awareness methods but I wanted to learn more about the one you choose to use and why, and how you do it! thanks xx

[@zoe4706]

I agree I feel like I have very little information on non-hormonal birth control! :/

[@saraellenscott]

Just been reading up on this for like, hours, & girl you may have just pushed me into buying it haha - thankya X

[@katymerkle1141]

I really want to take charge of my cycle, although I'm still in high school and not married and I've been with my partner for 2 years. I'm scared I will get pregnant if I try it.

[@JamesThomas-pe7mv]

I would definitely wait until you graduate, just in case. That way you won't have any hard decisions to make and you can set yourself up for success. I got pregnant the end of Junior year. It's so hard to get through school pregnant.

[@rebeccaroeder5090]

Would you be able to respond to respond to Dr. Polis's criticism on the Daysy's clinical studies? I was so excited to order one and to how have found this, but now I'm having doubts.

[@خواطرمبتعث]

I did ask the doctor today about the natural birth control (such Daysey and so) she literally told us (me and my wife ) that lots of women coming to the clinic getting pregnant while they are using this method as it’s not guaranteed. I wouldn’t say it’s bad or not as it’s your decision. It also has another negative side that you should be 3 hours sleeping constantly and not to move from the bed once wake up until you get your temp done!.

[@DeniseTheDreamer]

I've been off hormonal birth control for about 2 years and have wanted to find a good alternative. I also knew very little about tracking my BBT and so this is something I may look into.

[@blairariavanderkamp3405]

I just received this yesterday. I really hope that I get pregnant really fast with this.

[@melissaproductionsxD]

Another new upcoming fertility thermometer is the femometer it uses an iphone app using Bluetooth with the thermometer so you can get a detailed version of your results .

[@kayshaa24h]

you had me intrigued but damn girl 290 bloody euros? and BCP is free where I'm from (I'm against it nonetheless but I ain't got near enough 300 euros to drop on it which is a great shame).

[@s.o.n.y.p.i.x]

The only thing I get nervous about is that my cycles are all over the place, but I would love to use this to get more knowledge on my own body. More peace of mind.

[@mikkirichard1517]

I have some incredibly personal questions!? But I’m very excited about this. I’ve been looking for something for years! Please get back to me!

[@ChampagneDance]

I got my daysy and and am going off my hormonal birth control Monday! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm also reading "taking charge of your fertility" I can't wait to learn more about FAM and more about myself. Thank you for the guidance!

[@annagesaman7429]

Lauren Wallace any update?

[@ChampagneDance]

Yes! I've been using Daysy ever since and I love it! I havent even had a 'pregnancy scare ' it is honestly 100% worth it in my opinion

[@annagesaman7429]

Lauren Wallace I just ordered mine last night. I’m worried because I watched a video of a FAM instructor saying it’s not worth it because it only tracks temps and predicts ovulation based on previous cycles. And to practice it correctly and more effectively that we need to take into account all 3 fertility signs like cervical fluid, position and temps. I’m so confused on what to do! Like maybe just track with a regular basal thermometer and the daysy? But then she said that can become confusing and you can second guess your own chart ugh

[@ChampagneDance]

Id say if your nervous you can track the other signs as well! My sister uses Daysy and the Kindara app. I've had absolutely no issues after 2 years but you can definitely track all the signs! You just can't track them on the daysy app

[@annagesaman7429]

Lauren Wallace thank you 🙏🏻 this gives me more confidence. Definitely going to track everything and use the daysy and another thermometer and put it all on a chart! How long do you think I should wait coming off the pill? And is it still effective if you have irregular periods (before I was on the pill), or if you have a condition like pcos or endometriosis?

[@alyssab619]

Never heard of this, thanks for sharing!

[@hollyberry9047]

The 99.4 % effective study was retracted from the scientific journal it was published in due to inaccurate methods. It was a single survey sent with 13% responders, or 125 participants. The study excluded all women that had used daysy for less than 13 months. So...Im just guessing here...An unknown amount of women got pregnant and quit using daysy bc of being pregnant in the first year. They were not surveyed. Although it seems like a good addition to symptothermal method, I would be wary of relying solely on this item alone to prevent pregnancy unless I can find better studies.

[@tyra5606]

I wonder how this compares to the Lady Comp

[@ediemarnie]

It's based on the same technology (and algorithm) - however with LadyComp your chart details are shown on the device, whereas with Daysy it syncs to your smartphone and the free DaysyView app. Also, with Daysy you don't have to wake up the same time to take your temp every day, and you need only 3 hours of consecutive sleep prior to taking your temp. :)

[@MMEF2513]

Would you recommend this method alone? Or would you need to look for other signs as well in your opinion? Thanks!

[@angelfoodcake1979]

Does it ever show you the actual temperature anywhere?

[@waterbender19]

You seem like you would be the coolest friend

[@ashleybaird8873]

Can you compare Lady Comp and Daysy I know that they use the same method but one is FAR more expensive than the other and I just wanted to hear your opinions about both of them maybe in a little more detail

[@ediemarnie]

Hey Ashley - the difference mainly is that LadyComp shows everything on the device itself - full chart, analysis, fertility status - whereas with Daysy you have the option to sync with the free DaysyView app on your smart phone to see your chart etc. I personally just use the Daysy device and get my fertility status every day from the display (red light - fertile day, green light - non fertile day).

[@alinarapaj2412]

Holly Grigg-Spall Hey I see this was 2 years ago. Are you still using it? Im curious about beginning this method so i can reduce waste in condoms

[@RachelKrystina]

It's $500 Australian dollars so that's a no from me for now until I finish studying and start working again! I'll have to stick to my $10 thermometer hahaha

[@RachelKrystina]

+Justyna Anna Granicka I was actually looking into that today as it's much cheaper haha thanks :) only thing is it doesn't tell you when you're safe and when you aren't so you need to make sure you know all the rules for the fertility awareness method and I'm not sure I trust myself that much!

[@jinxpinx95]

it's not that hard! i promise! and its really empowering! there are only 4 rules, and if you read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility"" by Toni Weschler you will learn all of them! I really recommend it. I dont like machines. ive seen tons of Lady Comp and Daysy pregnancies

[@RachelKrystina]

+Justyna Anna Granicka yeah I've got the book already hehe :) I just have to keep referring back to it all the time lol. But I agree I wouldn't wanna rely just on a machine I know it takes your basal body temperature but that's all I think. I know that kindara uses BBT, CF and CP so I would assume that that's much more accurate.

[@jinxpinx95]

+RachelKrystina I much prefer Kindara! It's way more comprehensive and follows all the rules of TCOYF!

[@ediemarnie]

Justyn - I doubt you've see "tons" of LC or Daysy pregnancies - in fact I checked in with the team and they have seen 1 as the result of user error in almost a decade. The devices are 99.3% accurate and medically certified, they would not get this pearl index rating or certification if that were true. Wink may be the right choice for some - but I wouldn't say it's "better" - it's a totally different device - a regular basal body thermometer that stores data, with blutooth capabilities. Whereas Daysy and LC give you your fertility status for the day without any charting or interpretation required. Thanks.

[@mollymccann5043]

How is the period bag project going? I'd like an update!

[@alizastaygolden]

Just a heads up for people watching this TTC - basal body temp is NOT a good indicator for getting pregnant (I am pregnant, regular tracking helped) but basal body temp doesn't necessarily mean you've ovulated. Please consider that ❤

[@FemmeHead]

BBT can only show you that you've ovulated, and when you've started a new cycle. So, I can see where it could be tricky to use when trying to conceive. I'd definitely look into charting cervical fluid if trying to get pregnant, that's where the magic is!

[@kimrbs]

I am currently saving to buy a fertility calculator (either the Daysy or the Lady Comp) but in the meantime, I am looking for a basal thermometer (,00) and... They are impossible to find where I live :(

[@jinxpinx95]

Do you need farenheit or Celsius. Have you considered using a Wink?

[@jinxpinx95]

kindara.com/r/Z2dMd01yg

[@kimrbs]

Justyna Anna Granicka Thanks for your reply, I use Celsius :) I've heard about Wink but I prefer the Lady Comp (over the Wink or the Daisy) as you do not need your phone or anything to be able to see your data ! :)

[@lovely0th]

Justyna Anna Granicka the wink doesnt support celsius ??

[@jinxpinx95]

lovely0th it does support Celsius :)

[@anartistryy]

Thank you so much for making this video.

[@jamieswim56]

Thanks for this video! Are you doing additional charting on the side of using this? Or just this method?

[@mollymai8727]

my periods are extremely easy, if i take midol the first day i won’t have any cramps at all. also it is very very infrequent, it might be only 3/4 days out of the month and sometimes i skip months. i love it, and going on hormonal birth control absolutely scares me because i don’t want to lose my great period and pump hormones into my body. - do you think this would work for my body? even though i’m infrequent?

[@spaxx25]

I would really love more details on this! Do you use this to chart with their app? or do u only use this for the green/red light and use a different thermometer for charting? what are your views on their app versus kindara etc? I would love to know what your personal charting process is. Thanks!

[@jaylanmyers2576]

I want this so bad I ended up getting off of birth control because I got sick too much and felt terrible and changed me a lot actually so now I'm off birth control and I really want to purchase this and it seems cheaper than the other versions that I have encountered.

[@eilishmaree4151]

When you have to change the battery, does it have to relearn your cycle? And are the batteries at a normal store? Or do you have to order them?

[@carlypastore]

This was so helpful.... thank you!

[@StylistJenJen]

What if your periods are really irregular? Would this method really prevent me from pregnancy?

[@ediemarnie]

Daysy is built to deal with a certain amount of irregularity because that's normal. It is accurate for everyone regardless of your cycles, however if you have super irregular cycles you will probably get more yellow and red days than green days. But the readings will still be as accurate.

[@jinxpinx95]

It's recommended for people within a certain range from what I've read. I'm not compatible with it, because my Cycles range from 30-50 days. that's why i opted for the Wink thermometer! kindara.com/r/Z2dMd01yg

[@lbarrett9537]

If I'm looking to move off of my current form of birth control: hormonal (the pill), can I do both for the first month or two until I get comfortable with using it?

[@ediemarnie]

You can't use Daysy while you're still taking the Pill. If you want to get into the habit of taking your temp, you can just use a regular thermometer to create this habit and then transition to Daysy when you come off the Pill. Otherwise you would be feeding Daysy bad data and you would not be getting the correct readings anyway as you are not ovulating on the Pill. You'd then have the completely reset Daysy to use her properly when off the Pill. But to establish the habit of waking up and taking your temp, you could use a regular thermometer and then transition.

[@janikaterlaje2000]

the link for the daisy doesnt work anymore☹️ do you have another one ?

[@martharaine-singersongwrit9060]

Hi, I saw a video of yours talking about a natural cycles app or something. I was wondering whether you'd suggest getting a Daysy, or whether that app you mentioned would be reliable enough on it's own?

[@beccajayeh]

how does this work if you don't have a regular time you wake up everymorning? (i.e.) shift work?

[@Alegriia04]

Go to their website. They tell you what to do. But basically what they recommend is that you use it after having slept for 3-4 hours and it doesn't matter that it is not at the same time every day!

[@renske1760]

does it also tell you what temperature it measured?

[@yaniinunez6610]

The link isn’t working ughhh😩😢

[@kylieghnicole]

I think I'll stick to FAM and charting my temps, cervix, and CM. I don't think Daysy would be accurate for me. With breastfeeding I've been having a lot of annovulatory cycles, but I can ovulate anywhere between CD 10-38. My body likes to keep me on my toes lol

[@jasminortiz15jo]

The link for the code doesn’t work:(

[@katgonzalez8277]

what method of fertility tracking do you use? pencil and paper, or devices like this one? thanks!

[@claudiagonzalez8686]

What about the days leading up to the fertile days ?? Are those yellow?? Cause sperm lives up to 3-7 days

[@tuftyloves]

Do you find it to be consistent with your charting results? (Of course your temp would be, but is your Peak Day the same?)

[@ashleeschuette600]

This might be in the comments below but I’ve been taking hormonal birth control for almost 10 years.. my question is, would it take a long time for the daysy to figure out my cycle because of this?

[@zolasky5722]

I love your videos, they're so helpful. The topics you talk about tend to be a bit "taboo", but it's great to see it's helping more and more women open up and talk about their fertility and their cycles. I was wondering, would you have to use something like the Daysy in conjunction with charting other things like cervical fluid, or if you don't have the time can you just use it by itself?

[@iamalexandra.]

Lauren Paszkowski You can use the Daysy as your only method.

[@zolasky5722]

Thank you!

[@amandasalazar2207]

is there still a discount code that you provide? thank you so much!

[@ellelynnbrown]

i mentioned your channel and this video in my last upload! 💞 you’ve been so helpful to me! thank you for all you do 💖 and happy international women’s day

[@kaitlinloyer350]

Would you say this is an okay method for a woman postpartum who is breastfeeding? It took about a year or so for my period to return after having both of my kids, but I still want to make sure I’m using a reliable form of birth control...

[@TheAlexaglore]

What do you think about using this device without tracking cervical fluid? Is it still effective?

[@DeafGirl93]

I looked online to buy this is $330 it doesn’t say if it includes fees or anything.

[@panda-rama2646]

Alexis Satterfield I just bought a cheap basal body thermometer and downloaded the glow app. I just chart everything in there and it tells me when my fertile window is and the percentage of pregnancy that day. Only difference is I used this method to get pregnant instead of avoiding pregnancy

[@LizIsaCheeseDoodle]

So from someone who uses this method, do you have unprotected sex on the green and then just use condoms on the red and yellow? Or do you just not have sex when it's on red and yellow? I'm looking for another method bc I have so many negative side effects from hormonal bc and I'm just wondering!

[@FemmeHead]

It's your personal preference, but I would say to use condoms at first regardless of the light color. While the Daysy factors in time to learn your cycle (giving you more red and yellow days) if pregnancy is not an option for you play it safe :) Then after a few cycles you can move to either avoiding intercourse or using condoms during the red and yellow days.

[@prndrmamii]

it would be lovely to see an update on this and how you feel now used it for a bit longer. also are you still using it?

[@FemmeHead]

Sure, I'll do an update video. And yes, I'm still using it :)

[@prndrmamii]

great thanks! I am looking to purchase but I want to be sure your opinions still stand. I have read mixed reviews.

[@hannarodriguez2509]

Do you still use it?? Has it worked?

[@chelsyduncan7026]

Would this work for girls with irregular periods?

[@Quinn5218917]

Can you see your temperature at all? Maybe in the app?

[@FemmeHead]

You can see it in the app!

[@Quinn5218917]

+FemmeHead thanks for getting back to me! I'm new to fertility awareness and am currently learning to chart from a teacher. I'm wondering can you use this with charting and is it complicated to chart with it? Would you recommend using this in the beginning stage of charting? I thought about trying the Wink thermometer but I won't be able to get it for months and I dislike the one I have cuz like your old one mine beeps loud and multiple times. Thanks in advance!

[@hortonea12]

The code isnt working for me!

[@NayShea7]

Do you still you Daysy or are you using symptothermal method charting?

[@FemmeHead]

I use my Daysy, and track and chart my cervical fluid as well :)

[@Bubbles1707]

Thank you so much for the video :)

[@Salvger1981]

Do you insert your period before you are taking your morning temperature? I just started using it and i'm confused ... cause when i'm doing it after the mesuring daysy ask me to mesure again ...

[@FemmeHead]

I would normally click it on and insert my period quick before measuring. But if you forget and need to put it in after you can just ignore when it asks to take your temperature again. And you can also input your period into the app afterwords.

[@Salvger1981]

FemmeHead ok thank you 😊

[@miamwa94]

Hey! How long have you been using FAM/Daysy?

[@FemmeHead]

I've been using FAM for 3 years, and started using the Daysy three cycles ago.

[@SarahC127]

@FemmeHead has Daysy agreed with your personal charting or has it varied at all?

[@saradentremont9892]

Sarah Callaway, I was wondering the same thing. @FemmeHead, do you use the Daysy as your sole thermometer, or do you have a separate one that you use for comparison with your personal charting?

[@togi64739]

how many green days does it give you in a month?

[@giadaserra4428]

Can i Takeing daysy with me in airplane or this can it can cause some errors?

[@MrKerttu]

During the safe days is it ok to ejaculate inside or better to stop intercourse before ejaculation and avoid sperm?

[@alissastargirl1991]

During the green days, it is okay to ejaculate inside. I've been using this for a year now.

[@MrKerttu]

+Aaliyah Hamid hi thanks for reply. Do you feel completely at ease using this method or slightly worried and not relaxed completely? Somehow i feel i might get pregnant with this 😕

[@marianormann9599]

Aaliyah Hamid I just don't understand because what if you have gotten seamen inside you on a green day and the next day is a red day? seamen can live in the vagina for up to 5 days, so how will you manage not to get pregnant?

[@iamalexandra.]

Maria Normann You can only get pregnant on the day you ovulate, therefore you'll have 7 red days: 5 days before you ovulate, the day you ovulate and the following day.

[@mikkirichard1517]

My questions exactly!!!

[@fruityeva]

Hi, can you use the daysy without having your period for a year?

[@lbarrett9537]

Approx how many red/ yellow days a month would a girl get? And can't I start using the thermometer as soon as I stop taking the pill?

[@FemmeHead]

With normal charting you have 7 days a month you are fertile. Five days before ovulation because sperm can survive for up to 5 days in fertile fluid. And two days after ovulation to cover the lifespan of the egg. I definitely think you should start charting as soon as you get off the pill so you can see what's happening to your cycle. Does it return to normal? Are you not ovulating?

[@ediemarnie]

Most women using Daysy get 8-9 red days per cycle (fertile days). You can start using Daysy as soon as you come off the Pill, yes. She will let you know when you ovulate and when you get your first real period. :)

[@musicbycaitlinkelly]

Hi Holly! Do you need to wait til after you finish your withdrawal bleed? I also thought I saw on the Daysy FAQ section that you should wait for your first real period to start before starting -- but I don't wanna wait a whole month before I can use it! By the way, I LOVED your episode on the Fertility Friday podcast. It really helped a lot in my decision to get off the pill ASAP. Thank you!

[@ediemarnie]

Aw thanks Caitlin, that's great to hear. I hope you're doing well. You could start right away, but you would not enter your withdrawal bleed as a menstruation on Daysy. You will probably get your withdrawal bleed soon after you come off. You can join the private group if you want to hear other user's stories and get support: facebook.com/groups/daysyfertility/

[@musicbycaitlinkelly]

Thank you so much for the info! I've been exploring the FB group today :)

[@annabolton8471]

This may be a dumb question, but since sperm is relentless and they're tiny stone-cold killers, staying alive outside the body for days and days, should you still use condoms even during your safe days? Because how long are you actually safe? Like say I'm safe today but not tomorrow, but we just had unprotected sex. What does it mean??

[@FemmeHead]

Sperm can live in fertile fluid for up to five days, which are normally the five days leading up to the ovulation. I always tell women who are first learning to chart, and using it as birth control, to use condoms. That is until you learn and understand how to properly chart.

[@MegInWhispers]

Sperm cannot live outside of the body for days and days. It will die in about 30 mins, tops, in inhospitable conditions (basically anywhere except a fertile vagina). Sperm can live for up to 5 days, but only in fertile cervical fluid. The Daysy takes this into account as part of its high efficacy rate! A green day is a safe day with Daysy, but you can of course always use condoms and/or withdrawal if that makes you feel more comfortable.

[@marianormann9599]

Will I need to take my temperature at the exact same time every day?

[@FemmeHead]

Yes! Consistency is key with FAM

[@marianormann9599]

I read this on Daysy's website: "It is important that you measure right after waking up, before getting up, but it doesn't matter what time of day it is. The more regularly you measure, the more green days Daysy will be able to give."

[@MegInWhispers]

You don't NEED to take it at the same time daily with Daysy, but trying to be consistent with temping can help to ingrain it as a habit for you. With regular BBT thermometers (not the Daysy, which is a Fertility Monitor - something different) you do need to temp daily within the same 1 hour period.

[@opates1187]

can I use this device if I have an irregular period?

[@iamalexandra.]

Lauren Malone Yes.

[@GabrielleEther]

Hi. So do you have to take your temperature everyday? Or just before you have sex? Anyone can answer if u know thanx.

[@samlallas7361]

You take your temperature every morning

[@RachelContiBeauty]

The coupon wont work :(

[@FemmeHead]

I got it fixed!

[@RachelContiBeauty]

FemmeHead Thanks!!!

[@alliemille]

wait wait wait but sperm can survive for like 5 days.. so fertile days are more than just a few days if that makes since

[@FemmeHead]

They can survive for up to 5 days in fertile cervical fluid, and you only have fertile cervical fluid leading up to ovulation.

[@beastlyman75ps35]

up to how many years is daysy good for?

[@daysyEU]

7+ - but with our other device, LadyComp, women have had their's for 10,15,20 years through planning and preventing pregnancy :)

[@TheHandsomeWalrus]

What happens if your partner ejaculates inside you 2 days in a row? Are you more likely to get pregnant or is it okay? Because I was reading through the comments and one of the replies you had said that sperm can only survive in FERTILE fluid (so on the days you're ovulating) If this is so, then I'm guessing it would be okay? Thank you for taking time to reply.

[@rosettawilliams9133]

That seems a bit like jumping out of a plane with out a pairashoot on

[@rebiip]

Is it still save if you use condoms during the red days?

[@FemmeHead]

Obviously you definitely want to use condoms during the red days, but I always like to warn that if there is a worst possible time for a condom to break it would be during the fertile phase/red days.

[@MegInWhispers]

Rebeca - When you use a condom on red or yellow days, you are then relying upon the efficacy of the condoms themselves during your most fertile time. Condom efficacy can vary between perfect use and actual use, so make sure you're using them perfectly. Again, it's not the act of using Daysy that causes the effectivness of 99.3%, it's the fact that you're using the fertility indicator lights to decide how to time your intercourse to avoid the fertile time entirely, or to use protection during the fertile time. You could also with condoms + withdrawal - AGAIN as long as BOTH are done CORRECTLY

[@rylee1100]

This is really really cool

[@carolinewolfson]

She looks like lia Marie Johnson

[@afrisch202]

This definitely looks cool, but I hate to see KZbin ladies hating on hormonal BC. Starting the Pill has been nothing but amazing for me, and it works for millions of women. It's just one of the many BC methods out there. I say whatever works for you, go for it.

[@Sab94209]

She's not "hating on" hormonal BC, she shared her bad experiences and the research she has found. She is giving us the facts that our doctors didn't tell us in the first place. They don't tell you the important short/long term negative effects that can happen because that's bad for business. FemmeHead (Victoria) had a bad experience with it and she wanted to find out why so she did and now she is helping ladies everywhere. It's great that hormonal BC has made your life better, but it's not the case for every woman.

[@afrisch202]

+Sarah I definitely understand that, and I agree that everyone should go with whatever works for her, but if your doctor isn't giving you all of the information about your medications, you need to find a different doctor who will. When comparing hormonal BC methods, my doctor shared all of the pros and cons with me, including the short and long term effects of taking the pill.

[@Sab94209]

You're lucky then, but I doubt she/he told you that birth control is a class 1 carcinogen which is equal to asbestos and cigarettes! The doctors didn't tell me there were other options; it was either get on birth control or risk getting pregnant when you have sex. Unfortunately I think this happens a lot more than you would think. They also didn't warn me that BC can cause, for example, UTI's and vaginal infections. They don't tell you what exactly birth control is doing to our bodies. In one of FemmeHead's videos she actually talked about this and I believe she said that BC alters 150 bodily functions and effects all of your organs! I digress...the original point was that FemmeHead, and KZbinrs with similar channels, are sharing their reasons for not taking birth control and spreading important information for women who weren't already informed. They aren't "hating on" hormonal birth control just because they stopped taking it. Knowledge is power and you will do what you will with it.

afrisch202 everything is pretty much personal choice/preference. If you've researched the side effects of the Pill & your ok with the risks involved then that's ok. No judgement!

Then please tell me how I'm supposed to deal with my menstrual cramps, excruciating pain every single month. I eat right, exercise daily and keep my stress level low. Its genetics, my mother has had them, her sisters have them and my grandmother has them. You think people just pop pills without learning for themselves the potential side affects. Do you think that given those risks, the FDA would approve a drug that is so widely used? Without trying to better it? You make me think of the vaccination fanatics and their autism theories.
