I have endometriosis. Stage 3-4. There is no cure currently. None. Zero. The only thing that helps somewhat is hormonal birth control. When I see women (not on this platform, somewhere else on social media) talk about their negative experience with birth control, I get it, nothing is going to be perfect, I have negative experiences too. But. When they are SO uneducated about it and SPREADING THEIR IGNORANCE, claiming “Ladies. There are much more practical and very natural ways to reduce menstrual pain without using hormonal birth control, never turn to the evil hormonal birth control”. It. Makes. Me. So upset. For me, and other women like me who rely on hormonal birth control to keep some of our pain at bay because literally no other method works for us in the slightest. ESPECIALLY not Essential oils “NATURAL” Stuff.

In other words, the next person who spreads lies about birth control and tells me to just drink tea and meditate with the keto diet,l... tantrum. full. tantrum.

Disclaimer. I know birth control doesn’t work out well for everyone, tell your stories, but know that the experience will differ for everyone else so do not limit anyone’s knowledge. Anything you put in your body you’re taking a risk with, INCLUDING the “natural stuff”. Just because it’s natural DOES. NOT. make it safe by default.

Please encourage knowledge and self education when you can.
