My experience getting off hormonal BC 🌗

I recently switched from the Nuva ring and being on different forms of BC for over 5 year to fertility awareness. Here’s what I’ve noticed

Pros:

•Less fatigue

•Reduced headaches

•Unintentional weightloss

•Increased Libido

•Less painful cramps

•No more mood swings

•More connection with my body

•Brain fog is mostly gone

Cons:

•Longer periods along with unexpected spotting

•Increase in Libido only occurs during fertile windows

• My activity level is dependent on my cycle

•Less freedom to be spontaneous

•Very tender breasts during ovulation

•More work to maintain

•Need to purchase ovulation strips

•Body odor has changed
