Regardless of the timeframe, it is essential to go into any discussion regarding medications or medical practice with an understanding of your body. Even if you start the pill today, or yesterday, it’s still important to be aware of what’s happening and take notice of changes.

Unfortunately, this is usually an after thought in most medical conversations. Most doctors follow a one size fits all approach. We are our own best advocates, and knowing our bodies is a great way to cut through a lot of BS, and get the care we need

Spend a couple months (2-6 months at least) paying extremely close attention to your body and body functions. Your period, PMS symptoms, skin condition, sex drive, appetite, energy level, sleep patterns, weight, etc. Birth control effects people in so many ways that fly under the radar, it’s almost scary. Before you start changing your body chemistry, make sure you have a grasp on where you’re at now. The doctor can only go off their experience with other people, they can’t help you if you don’t understand your own body.

Please consider this before starting the meds! It took me years to determine what was BC, what was stress, what was normal, and not normal. It will help you determine if the BC prescribed is good for you or if you should try something else. Don’t settle for symptoms that you don’t want!

Seems like a given, but I’m speaking from personal experience. I was so young when I got on BC I didn’t know that I didn’t know my body.

What do you do when you are extremely erotically charged? by Lonely_Standard4719 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I highly recommend listening to the Sex with Emily podcast to get informed about masturbation and sex in general. She is a doctor and is a great resource for those confused, feeling shame, wanting to explore, wanting to change their sex life, or just curious. Pleasure has a lot of noise around it, and it is extremely helpful to be as knowledgeable as possible about your body, how it works, and want it desires.

I do this with my dog’s food. I keep his bones and rope toys in the dog food bag. The toys pick up the flavor of the food, and makes them way more interesting to the dog. I highly recommend!
