When I say that becoming their mama saved my life, I mean that 🥹 I stopped taking birth control so we could start trying for a baby and shortly after coming off my body started reacting in ways I couldn’t ignore… Hormonal birth control doesn’t necessarily cause brain tumors, but it can suppress symptoms of underlying conditions by regulating hormones and altering how your body naturally responds. In my case, the birth control was keeping my body from showing the warning signs… until I stopped taking it. That one decision set off a chain of events that ultimately revealed something I might not have known about until it was too late. It’s wild how trying to bring life into the world ended up preserving mine. #butterflyeffect #thebutterflyeffect #braintumorawareness #braintumorsurvivor #birthcontrol
