WHY I STOPPED TAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILLS AND MY EXPERIENCE GETTING OFF // advice + recommendations

[@anna-shirin]

Thank you for this video! So nice to hear you chatting so openly :-) Definitely helped me out! I also LOVE the editing, keep up the great work!

[@JillzGuerin]

Ah thank you!! So glad it was helpful :)

Great vid! I recently started taking birth control pills again for health reasons. I kind of agree with the hormonal cycle being more even throughout the month, but for me it is the right thing.

[@dsing815]

would love to hear more about how you over came the mental blocks that you had built while on the pill regarding your sexuality and libido :)

[@JillzGuerin]

I was thinking about doing a video about libido so when I do that I’ll try to include this! ❤️

[@Aneta8C]

I stopped taking pills 7 months ago, I regret I was taking them for so many years, my acne is a bit worse now, but still I'm happy I made that decision, I have less headaches, and my skin have a healthier glow :)

[@JillzGuerin]

Excited for you!! I hope you continue to feel better and better every day! 💖

@@JillzGuerin thank you 😊

Thanks for your videos! You mentioned that you detoxed your home. I would love to hear more about that. I've also been trying to detox my home but it can feel overwhelming because it feels like there is no limit to the number of items that can be toxic or the number of toxins I should look out for. I would love to hear what you prioritized here. Thanks!

What anti-contraceptions did u use (if u used any) after getting off the pill? I really want to quit the pill but also I want to feel safe in having sexual interactions without constantly fearing pregnancy!

[@JillzGuerin]

We use a mix of tracking my cycles and condoms! Just keep in mind that you won't be able to reliably track your cycle and your fertile windows until several months after getting off the pill so def use extra protection 😊

Great video! What are your thoughts on non hormonal birth control such as IUD (like copper ones)? Not sure if that’s the right English translation 😂

[@JillzGuerin]

I think that some of them can be better, especially the copper IUD, but they can still throw the body off balance and can have their own problems. I personally wouldn't get on them, but that doesn't mean they're not a good choice for others 😊

My biggest fear is my breasts are gonna get smaller... is this common when quitting BC?

[@JillzGuerin]

If your birth control made them bigger, then they might go back to your normal size if you get off. But if not, then they shouldn’t!

[@irfanmirza-hr9gn]

Same like me but I have off pills becz conceive baby😢

[@0348c]

@@irfanmirza-hr9gn okay so update, they didn’t become smaller. They’re even bigger now as quitting BC made me gain weight

[@EmilyRaskett]
