I've been off BC for about 10 years. My experience has been that you'll naturally get in tune with your body. I think the book would be helpful, but after some time, you'll probably just know what's going on. There are also so many period tracking apps that you can use to see where you are you in your cycle as well. I'm saying this to share--don't stress! Humans have lived for thousands of years without BC.
Thank you for not demonizing birth control. I remember reading all these nightmare stories about being on the pill and how bad it is - well, for me it's literally such a blessing. Hopefully getting off it will be just as good. Lovely vlogs xx
I've never used birth control pills, always just used condoms, but it is true that you can get in tune with your body. I am at the stage now where I know when I'm ovulating without even tracking it because of subtle changes my body goes through during that time :) Wish you all the best! It's great and empowering to feel so in tune with yourself! x
Hi Rachel, i’ve just started watching your vlogs recently. and now, I just can’t get enough of it. love the work 8-5 routines! 😍 love from Malaysia. ❤️
Yay! Thank you!
Omg same here I love to see your 8-5 work day videos they are so relaxing or I’m just probably a boring person 😝
Literally the same experience, and it’s insane how even doctors belittle the amount of pain and risk. I’ve heard doctors on YT who talk highly about the IUD and I’m over here having it out for years STILL having side effects. And then my gyno almost put me on a medication that would have caused blood clots due to my disability- I only managed to miss that issue because a pharmacist did the consult for the first pick up. Be careful with your bodies and do extensive research, I have way too much knowledge on neurology and behavioral health from experience and college education so it’s sad to see people who have degrees etc not being cautious and giving false information in any medical area. I’m so sorry you had that happen, it can be truly traumatic for people 💕
I just randomly found you a few days ago and I’m obsessed with your videos! Keep doing your thing because people out here are routing for you! I know how hard it can be to balance a 9-5,RUclips,healthy lifestyle and mental health!!! You’re killing it so far!
You are so sweet thank you😸💖
One of the many reasons I love your vlogs is Bc you are so good at talking to the camera (aka viewers) like we are just friends and it makes it feel so comfortable and like we are all close friends. 💛
I love the BC talk! I’m so invested in your journey! I need to know if I should get off my birth control bc I want to be balanced too… I’m so excited for you, and lowkey excited for when you and AJ grow your little family 🤍🤍
AJ is so handsome!!! Best of luck with getting of the pill it took my body 2 yrs to fully recover and regulate my period 😔
Hey,🌼
I came off the pill just over a year ago to give my body a reset. I have recently found out I have PCOS and endometriosis, the pill was just hiding the symptoms. Which once finding out made so much sense, since I had a problem with ance and painful periods.
Hope your journey coming off the pill goes well, and your hormones are able to reset. With my journey being so emotionally up and down. I always pray blessing for any other woman who decides to go off the pill. Can't wait to see. 😁
Jess conte also did this and now she’s pregnant ☺️💚
I just wanted to say I really appreciated the sit down talking portion of this video. This sounds a little pathetic, but when the pandemic started all of my friends moved out of town and state (literally ALL of them! how does that happen!? lol) and I've been working alone from home, so it was nice to feel like I was having that girl talk again that I've been missing since they all moved. It was really nice to see that more vulnerable side of you. I'll be praying alongside you for your attitude/health/and whatever God has planned in store for you and Aj to start building your family. :)
💚💚💚💚 I love that you are being so honest and open! It's amazing to have you're blog as a support for working women in their 20s!
Thank you so much!!
Hey Rachel love your vlogs I've been having you on the background while I work or while I shower (lol) the past month! Anyways, my sister is an orthodontist and she told me to never immediately brush your teeth straight after eating/drinking! Wait at least 30 mins to an hour, otherwise your teeth enamels will be scraped away when brushing. The toothbrushing motion is also super important :D goodluck on the health journey
thanks!!
I look forward to your vlogs every week☺️
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for taking us along on this journey, Rachel. Can't wait for more content from you. Love & prayers from PHL
every type of birth control had my hormones spiraling .. I experienced the craziest mood swings & just emotional roller coasters & cramps even after months! So I’ve also opted for natural prevention/tracking & I love it.
I feel like everyone has a different point of their life where pregnancy can seem like a blessing and some points where pregnancy can be scary
I'm literally only 21 years old but I can try to understand how it feels like cause it's an emotional and financial commitment . Pregnancy can be a boon but at the same time you should be prepared for health emergencies / Conditions that can come along pray to god that nothing happens but yes I have seen videos where parents did not have money to take care of the child and the child has high level autism / A genetic disability . We all should be prepared for it .
💚the music is so chill, it's like movies you watched in the car as a kid taking a trip out of town. There's nothing to be worried about, whatever you got is what you will use to help you onto this journey. Foundations are set, and as time passes the more ready you become. It's still trials but anytime we find ourselves stressed or want to curse, we know who to cry to, at least you Rachel you know who to cry to. Be audible to be heard is all you need to do so we never have to hear the accuser telling us otherwise in what we expose🌟. What we shed to be so we can have our fellowship restored. And we are all excited for the next one🎶.
So excited to follow your journey!! I've been off birth control for 1.5 years and I've never felt better 🙌🏻
this is so exciting!! so happy to hear you had a positive experience :)
Excited for you! It’s been a crazy journey for me getting off the pill and finally addressing the symptoms/issues I had before getting on it 🙃
“I’m freaking crazy, AJ will tell you, I’m not okay” 😂😂 I’m sorry, that part was so funny😂
hahahaha
Rachel thanks for being so open with us! I'm excited to hear how it goes for you :) My husband and I have done nothing but NFP for our 11 years of marriage and for so many reasons it has enriched our relationship. You could also look into the Marquette method- I was able to avoid pregnancy even while breastfeeding with it. :) Good Luck!
Everyone has the right to chose but I am suprised how so many people don't even consider condoms and start trying all these methods with so many side effects.
Well they are not full proof and some people are allergic to latex.
Amazing video, Rachel! I am SOOO beyond happy that you were open about your birth control journey. Ironically, I just had the IUD put in me yesterday. I was in so much pain, and I have a high pain tolerance. Today, thankfully is much better. I’m hoping all goes well with it. I was on the depo shot but it decreased my bone density after being on it for 8 years.
I pray everything goes smoothly for you getting off birth control and would love to hear your journey. 💖 I was also laughing so hard I cried because of Vinny in this video 😂
wow thanks for sharing :) if you want to keep me updated on your IUD experience i would be super interested! i hope its smooth sailing for you
I came off mine after 8 years in the beginning of 2022. My hubby and I aren't trying to start a family yet - but if it happens, it happens! We feel we in a comfortable place to get pregnant even if it's not in our immediate plans. Overall, I think it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I feel so much happier and that my anxiety medication is actually working, less bloated and not struggling with trying to lose weight as I was before, sleeping better, more energy, less brain fog, and well, let's say my relationship much spicier.. 🤣😍 I don't plan on going back on it any time soon! We're highschool sweethearts as well, 11 years together this year and my hubby says that I'm the happiest he's seen me in years!
wow this makes me so happy!! hahah the spice!!
Right! 😂😂
I had to go off of the pill and my skin cleared up so much!!! It was crazy ❤️
no way! that is awesome
Hi Rachel,
I'm not sure how I came across you and your vlogs. But I'm so happy I did. Your vlogs have been extremely motivating. Best wishes for your new chapter in life.
Thank you so much!!
💚 wishing you so many blessings on this journey Rachel! I've also read through "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and done FAM. It's majorly empowering, and kinda cool to discover how brilliant and unique our female body is!
And dang, I feel along with you in having those debilitating cramps 😥 it's awful. I've never been on the pill so thankfully I've been able to solve it through nurtritional supplements. Wishing you the best as you come off the pill and rediscover your body's rhythm, and whatever happens, there's a way through! ❤
A little bit of unsolicited advice. You will become more in control of your body when you realize that you don’t actually have control. The best thing you can do is treat your body well and be patient. Your body will talk to you as long as you listen. I like you was on birth control for a while, tried different ones had different experiences etc… and then I had a baby. And with all of that my body still continues to change and groove to the best of its own drum.
If your pee is abnormal, like yellowish and you get a burning feeling, maybe get checked for UTI. It is pretty common if the weather is dry or if you haven’t been drinking enough water. Hope you feel better soon.. 💜
Also, I can't believe you had to go through so much pain for a whole year from the IUD. I am so sorry!
I'm so excited for you getting off the pills!! I hope everything is going to be fine with you ❤️
♥️
Your vlogs are simple and I just love them. Thank you🤗
I'm so glad!
Doing chores at the moment and I really enjoy listening to your videos. It motivates me a lot!
love to hear it :)))
I will definitely be following along! I got off the pill in October, so I’m very curious to see what your experience will look like. 💚
I've been off the pill for 3 months now. My face broke out again, but not horrible. The pill was destroying my digestive system. It was rough, I had an allergic reaction to dairy and gluten. I stopped the pill and it helped my stomach regulate better. The pill helped the acne, but not that great. I switched to Natural Cycles for BC and that has been great. I have had some crazy mood swings, but my period has always come while on BC and after. I wanted it that way. Also, I've stopped drinking coffee and switching to Matcha everyday. its helping alot with my headaches and anxiety. :) Good luck!
Thank you for sharing! that is so interesting
💚 Will definitely be following your updates! I’ve never been on birth control, but have always had very intense and painful periods. But I’m also super aware of how my body feels at different points in my cycle, which can be a blessing and a curse lol. May have to snag that book!!
Ohh how exciting for the both of you❤(💚😆)
And your not alone with those cramps when you had a IUD, I had the same! It was like having contractions, the only position that helped me was squatting deeply for about 5min..
I got it out in October 2021 after 3 years. 🙌🏼
And I'm so happy for you guys that you're stepping into this journey, my partner and I have fertility problems so ist harder for us. So as soon I see other people who are having plans to expand there fam or are pregnant. I'm like overjoyed! Bless you both, hope everything goes good (& controlled😉)! 🤗
Haha thank you for sharing! I’m excited 🤪🤓
LMAO when AJ knows “ok you gotta restart this whole thing”
Well she LEFT IT
😝😝
I think it’s cool you’re sharing stuff like this! I kind of want to get that book because my husband and I think a lot about whether we should try for a second child or not and I oftentimes don’t know if I should be on birth control or not so I like hearing about other peoples opinions!
💚💚💚yes to taking charge of your fertility!! I hope it all goes well with you.
Thank you!!
Amazing new vlog update, Rachel!❤️❤️
I started using the period tracker in my iPhone health app and it has really helped me to be more in tune with my body and understand my cycle better. It’s a valuable resource for me and I highly recommend you try it or another app as you go off the pill.
i just started using the kindara app
the dramatic "insertion" hand gesture close-up made me laugh out loud!
lol!
Yesss I loved this and I’m looking forward to hearing more about your journey getting off the pill. I have recently decided to get off the pill as well so this is encouraging. Please talk more about it! 🤗💚
P.S. I LOVE your content. You’re doing such a great job!!
thanks so much!!!
I just discovered you this last month and I love how raw you and your video are. Greetings from Ph ☺
the headaches and going pee every hour might be from extra or too much caffeine?! for me it always happens when I have too much espresso or even just an extra cup of my favorite coffee without fueling up or drinking lots of water in between. Days I just have my usual iced americano or white chocolate mocha it never happens--but days I feel like i need that extra boost it ALWAYS follows with a headache and numerous trips to the restroom
💚 Good luck. Remember it's all in Gods hands !!
love your channel 💚 keep sharing this content because its my favorite hahah
got off birth control myself and its made such a difference!!
thanks so much and thanks for sharing
I just stopped birth control in November after taking it 10 years! You got this!
How was your experience? 🙌🏼
Also the chai they use at Starbucks is just Tazo chai concentrate if you like it and wanna save money!
@@RachelVinn it’s been okay! Finally having some type of cycle now but as long as you take care of yourself and try to learn what vitamins or hormones your high/low in you can really learn a lot and help your body! I also read books and listened to podcasts- Alissa Vitti is great!
awesome thank you!
Congratulatuons on your new season. Im excited to follow along. Might try it myself.
I also have bad teeth. I dont have any bottom teeth in the back cause of cavities despite the fact that I really take care of them.
💚 such an exciting journey to be on! All the luck and prayers for you :)
Thank you so much!!
Super interested in your journey & appreciate anything you choose to share!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Rachel, I started watching your videos recently... and I liked it very much... I'm Halima, a girl from Morocco.😊😊❤️❤️❤️🌹
Thank you so much!!
Vinny is so funny. She is so smart ! Love it.
Kitty steals the show lol
alwaYS
I got off birth control, 4 months ago and had no crazy side effects thank goodness! Hopefully it's the same for you!
that is good news!
This new subject is really interesting. Hopefully in the next year or so I will try to have a baby so learning from your experience will be enriching
That’s so exciting!! 💖
Hi chel I always love starting my day with your vlogs 😉
-Philippines 🇵🇭
💚 I’m so excited for you!!!
💚 this is exciting! I have that book too, and it’s a good resource!
Love your vlogs as always 💚💚
Yay! I just found your channel a few days before and this is the first time I am watching your new content.
aw yay! welcome :)
I can understand your pain u are going through it! .. I can feel from your vlog 🥺
😢 wat
I am in the same boat as you Rachel. However I was on the depo provera for 1 year and I came off it in Jan 2021 and my period still has not returned (who would have thought it would take over a year to come back, I believe I am now showing PMS symptoms so shouldn’t be much longer) but the wait has been infuriating. I just want my natural cycle back and to be rid of excess hormones. I’ll definitely be getting that book. Thanks xx
Ha ha! I've been through the cup situation. You might have a urine infection. My cat knows when I'm closing the door on her at night. Sometimes she will just stay near the door and other times she will run under the bed! 😂 They are so smart. Oh, and Vinny has arms? I was dying! 🤣
hahahhaha cats are crazy
Lol I loved that fight with Vinny. 🐈⬛
Highly recommend to check out the book "In the Flo" by Alisa Vitti - as this is what convinced me to get off hormonal birth control in 2020 when I had been on it for 6 years I think?!. I had horrendous mood swings. I then got a copper IUD which did hurt a lot for a few months but it has somewhat settled now although it has my period longer and heavier unforch. I do think the fertility awareness method can be good, I 100% know when I am ovulating now, but definitely wanna be ok with the fact that you mayyyy get pregnant if it's your only form of contraception. Anyways the book basically teaches you how to naturally manage your hormones with proper food exercise activities etc.
Shameless self promo that I have a video about how the different phases of the hormonal cycle affect your productivity levels - ruclips.net/video/G8GnA-sUoN8/видео.html
Excited for you!
You and vinny make me wish I wasn’t allergic to cats 😩🥲🥲
Hi I follow Dr Sarang Choi on RUclips and she said to wait 30 minutes after eating to brush your teeth bc brushing right after isn't good for your teeth. I also get cavities super easy so I'm always looking for tips too! Also yes please share your birth control experience. I can't wait to one day be off birth control and to see if my mood changes at all. Also Vinny is such a character
💚
Love starting my mornings w your videos 🤍
good morning bethany :)))
If you feel like it definitely share these information with us, it's interesting whether it is relevat to a person or not (ok, it's not very relevant for me, because I have never been on a birth control during 16 years of my whole period journey, but I like to learn new things :)) :) I'm looking forward for the updates :)
I love how the body tells you everything.
Since you were so long on the pill you should take some time to let your body "Settle" and let it go to its natural being
So take some months to know it
Thank you for sharing this with us! 😻🙂💚
I tried hormonal birth control as in the pill due to an imbalance of my hormones not for family planning or avoiding pregnancy and it was horrible the fact that I had to try and remember to take it at the same time each day I just couldn’t do it my life is non routine. I got about a year and a half ago got the Skyla IUD insertion was minimal pain no cramping and it’s the best birth control for me. I will say I did see Michelle reads blog about it and I was intrigued as well but again I need hormonal birth control for a hormone in balance that I have but be cool to hear more about it
Yesss wear what makes you feel like YOU🤩
Also, your uterus can pivot and actually become backwards so take that into consideration and make sure people communicate with you. I had no idea that was possible, I thought you were born that way but I can hop in from sitting a lot or from daily activities that may cause it to pivot. So ask questions and try to get as much information as you can because there’s way too much false media and false reviews out there to trust it
yes i have a retroverted uterus and knew that before getting the IUD! i wonder if that had anything to do with my bad experience
@@RachelVinn Went through the comments and so glad I found this. I have a retroverted uterus and I'm considering an IUD. I haven't seen a health professional but Google says an IUD can be inserted incorrectly if the gynecologist doesn't recognize the position of the uterus.
It would be great to follow and watch your journey!💚
love the video
as a teen boy I think your video is really informative
😀
Tell us all!
i decided to get off birth control last week!!! hoping it will help with the crazies 🤪
hhahahha me too!
I’m currently in Paris and would love to try the Hello Fresh service. Would i be able to make use of your discount code here or is it only applicable for USA? Thanks!
lil vinnnny😍😍😍😍
I have no diagnosis for you lol
But I'm having to pee so much lately too! I also live in FL and I'm thinking maybe because it was so cold these past couple weeks?? No clue.
haha blame it on the weather!
Hii Rachel ❣️
hey hey
If you want to learn more about your hormones and cycle, listen to the Hormone Genius podcast. It is so helpful for learning about different parts of the cycle and your moods, and then using that to your advantage.
Good luck with your BC endeavours.I wonder how long it’ll take for you to get pregnant. ;)
I thought of same thing of going off mine too but Im soo used to! it getting very hard for me go off 😂 I just dont want my time of month I sooo used not having it
i totally relate! thats why i stayed on it for so long because its kinda nice!
My diagnosis is a bladder infection...not sure about the headaches
seems legit
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 obsessed with your videos💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Coming back to this vid to ask if you have any thermometer recommendations??
i just got mine off of amazon! a basic mouth temp thermometer
Linda, amo a vibe dos seus videos Deus abençoe você ❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sounds like a UTI! They can get very painful if not treated so be sure to see a doc soon. :)
Vinny is soooo cute...
Enjoyed this Rachel.Can you link Annas channel?
if only she had a channel :(
@@RachelVinn well I enjoy your podcast from Botswana 🇧🇼,Africa
Also I think if you just go to the dentist more often you might not need to do all these extra things to prevent cavities 😊
dont call me out like that... but you are probably right lol!
Lol sorry, I speak from personal experience so we are in the same boat 💚
the headache and frequent need to pee sounds like Tension MindBody Syndrome (look it up its a thing)
Vinny looks ready to fight for her place at the carpet under the bed. 🤣
