Could It Be Time to Give Your Body a Break from the Pill?
For so many women, the pill is prescribed as a "solution" to regulate periods, manage acne, or prevent pregnancy.
But here’s the thing—the pill isn’t actually regulating your hormones.
🤯 It’s shutting down ovulation.
🤯 It’s stopping your body from producing natural progesterone.
🤯 And it could be affecting more than you realize.
Why Should We Ovulate Monthly—Even If We Aren’t Trying for a Baby?
Ovulation isn’t just about fertility. It’s a key part of overall health because it allows your body to:
✔ Produce progesterone (your calming, mood-balancing hormone)
✔ Support brain function and mental well-being
✔ Regulate metabolism and maintain bone density
✔ Promote a healthy menstrual cycle
When the pill stops ovulation, you lose these vital benefits.
The Truth About the Pill and Your Hormones
The pill doesn’t balance hormones—it overrides them.
Most birth control pills contain synthetic hormones, which suppress ovulation and prevent your body from producing natural estrogen and progesterone.
While this may help control symptoms short-term, it doesn’t fix the root cause of hormonal imbalances.
What Happens When We Don’t Produce Progesterone?
Without natural progesterone, you may experience:
🚩 Mood swings & anxiety
🚩 Low energy & poor sleep
🚩 Weight changes
🚩 Headaches & migraines
🚩 Irregular periods after stopping the pill
Progesterone is crucial for emotional well-being, sleep, metabolism, and overall balance.
