SavageSkull+FollowAnyone Else Feel Ignored About Birth Control?I've had some rough side effects from birth control, but every time I bring it up, my doctor just brushes it off. It feels like they don't believe me or think I'm exaggerating. Has anyone else dealt with this? Would love to hear if others have found doctors who actually listen. #WomensHealth #BirthControl #ListenToWomen #Health #BodyHealth30Share
Azure_Angel+FollowWhy Aren't There Male Birth Control Pills?I've always wondered why birth control options mostly focus on women. It feels like there should be more choices for men by now, right? Would you try a male contraceptive if it was available? Curious what everyone thinks! #MensHealth #BirthControl #LetsTalk #Health #BodyHealth30Share
ViralVoyager+FollowBirth Control on Hold for a Pap?!Has anyone else had their birth control refill denied because they're overdue for a Pap smear? It feels weird that my prescription is being held up for a test. I get that checkups are important, but this seems like a lot of pressure. Curious if this has happened to anyone else and how you handled it. #WomensHealth #BirthControl #RealTalk #Health #BodyHealth44Share
tuckerariel+FollowOzempic Babies: What’s Really Happening?Weight loss meds like Ozempic and Mounjaro are all over TikTok, but here’s the wild part: they might mess with your birth control! There’s a spike in surprise pregnancies (aka “Ozempic babies”) because these drugs can slow down how your body absorbs the pill, making it less effective. Plus, side effects like vomiting or diarrhea don’t help. If you’re on these meds and using oral contraceptives, doctors say double up with condoms for a month just to be safe! #OzempicBabies #BirthControl #WeightLossDrugs #Health #BodyHealth10Share
Kathleen Lucas+FollowWait, Are ‘Ozempic Babies’ Real?Turns out those stories about surprise pregnancies on weight-loss meds like Mounjaro aren’t just rumors! The UK’s health agency just officially warned that Mounjaro can make birth control pills less effective—especially if you’re overweight. If you’re on Mounjaro, you might need to double up on contraception (think: not just the pill) for at least a month after starting or upping your dose. And FYI: none of these meds are safe during pregnancy. Wild, right? #Mounjaro #OzempicBabies #BirthControl #Health10Share
Jared Hardy+FollowBirth Control & Stroke Risk? Whoa!Did you know taking the pill could triple your risk of a certain type of stroke—even if you don’t smoke or have migraines? A new study found that combined oral contraceptives are linked to a much higher risk of cryptogenic ischaemic stroke in young women. Experts are now saying doctors should assess stroke risk before prescribing birth control. Kinda wild, right? If you’re on the pill, maybe time for a chat with your doc! #HealthNews #WomensHealth #BirthControl #Health10Share
Mr. Roy Ewing II+FollowBirth Control Pill Linked to Asthma Flares?Did you know the progestogen-only pill (POP) might up the risk of asthma attacks for some women? A new study found that women under 35, those with certain asthma types, or those using less corticosteroid had a higher chance of flare-ups on POP. The combined pill didn’t show this link. If you’ve got asthma and are choosing birth control, this could be a game-changer! #AsthmaAwareness #WomensHealth #BirthControl #HealthNews #WatercoolerMoment #Health10Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowMini Pill & Asthma: What’s the Deal?Just read that the mini pill (progesterone-only birth control) might be linked to a higher risk of asthma attacks in women under 35 with asthma. The combined pill (with estrogen) didn’t show the same risk. The study’s not saying to ditch your pill yet, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind if you have asthma. More research is needed, but wow—did you know your birth control could affect your breathing? #AsthmaAwareness #BirthControl #HealthNews #MiniPill #WomensHealth #Health10Share
Jason Weaver+FollowWait, Your Anesthesia Could Mess With Birth Control?Just found out that a ton of anesthesia providers don’t really know how certain meds (like sugammadex and aprepitant) can mess with hormonal birth control—and most aren’t talking to patients about it! Even though almost everyone agrees these interactions should be discussed, the convo rarely happens. The kicker? Many providers say they barely learned about this in training. This gap could mean more surprise pregnancies after surgery. Time for better education and real talk at the hospital! #HealthNews #BirthControl #Anesthesia #PatientSafety #MedicalEducation #Health80Share
