#ad Birth control. This is a topic I am REALLY passionate about. I was on the pill for 9 years. I went on birth control as a teenager and sometime in my early 20s I decided to go off the pill… Within a month my face was COVERED in inflamed and painful cystic acne. I was young and embarrassed so after a year I went back on the pill, but this time my body had another idea about that. It works wonders for a lot of women, but for me, after a series of highly uncomfortable symptoms, I had to go off the pill for good. My acne came back with full force but instead of running from my new problems I decided to face them dead on. I decided to truly LEARN my body. Did you know there’s only a short window each month that you can actually get pregnant? I didn’t. Did you know that your body temperature changes slightly as your cycle transitions from phase to phase? Did you even know there are different phases in your cycle? I didn’t. The more you truly learn your body the more you can learn to work with it. I am honored to partner with NaturalCycles - the first and only Birth Control App - to help spread the word about a hormone-free birth control option that helps you to learn your cycle and connect to your body. This app uses a daily temperature reading to help you learn when you are a fertile Mertle and when you aren’t. Who’s ready to join the hormone-free revolution? #DifferentKindOfBirthcontrol #takeyourpowerback #naturalcycles #sponsored
