MY NON-HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL (METHOD).

Wanna know something they ALSO don’t teach you in school!? 😡

You really can only get pregnant 6 days out of the (month).

YES. You read that right. 6 days!!

Unpopular opinion: it’s actually really hard to get pregnant. Seriously- ask my friends.

Of course there will always be those one time at band camp girls, but it truly is difficult.

I mean if I’m being real you typically only have a 24-48 window to get it in with your partner while you’re ovulating so it can catch the egg in time. But who’s countin 🤷‍♀️

And the thing is, you’re the most h*rny when you’re ovulating (if your hormones are properly balanced), so it makes sense when you see people getting pregnant “out of the blue.”

The key to navigating non-hormonal birth control is to know when it is your ovulating. Once you know the timeframe each month, the rest is cake!

I am able to truly feel my body through cycle syncing, find my hormonal rhythm, and prevent pregnancy without all those horrible side effects.

And I truly don’t stress about it you guys. I just stay vigilant in logging my temp.

How to navigate:

- invest in a basal body temp reader like natural cycles

- log your period and get accustomed to learning about your cycle

- balance your hormones if you’re having irregular periods - this makes it harder to track

- log at least 3 months of data

- learn your ovulation pattern

- abstain or use condoms during ovulation and the 5 days leading to it and one day after (the app will tell you)

- pull out method on other days besides right before my period

Do what works for you!! This is not intended to be medical device and always consult with your doctor before switching birth controls.
