If youâre here reading this Iâm going to bet youâve consider coming off birth control. Maybe you already have come off? Iâm guessing that either youâve experienced unwanted side effects or youâve realized that the Pill really isnât treating your hormonal health problems. If youâve recently stopped taking birth control, be sure to check out my how-to guide for the transition.
First of all, congratulations! Youâve just made a hugely important step towards restoring your natural cycle and living in your Flo. Stick with me and you can have beautifully clear skin, clockwork pain-free periods, and heal your PCOS or endometriosis - all without the Pill. You donât need it!â
But, wait, what about contraception?â - you say? I hear you, which is why I want to dedicate this post to exploring your natural alternative options. How did I go pregnancy scare-free for years before choosing to have my baby when I was ready? Iâm going to let you in on a secret...
Iâve been married to my husband Vic for a few years now, but we have always and still use condoms. I know a lot of people feel like a committed relationship is no place for condoms. Itâs like we see condom-less sex as a sign of love and trust. Well, I have to say, I donât agree. If your man loves you, he will use condoms!
Hereâs why:
Top tip: I only use condoms with spermicide when Iâm ovulating, because spermicide can be irritating to the vagina and cause you to be susceptible to infections.
If you want to be super-safe about preventing pregnancy you can always double up with another natural method. I have a few to recommend. You can make using these a part of your foreplay - having a diaphragm in over dinner can feel kinda sexy if you know youâre going to be in bed with your partner later!
You can use living in your Flo to also manage your fertility -
And, if you want to be super-super-safe --
Always remember, that once you have the right information about how your body really works, you can start making health choices that finally start to work for you! Â You can do this - the science of your body is on your side!
To your FLO,
Alisa
