I used to puke for the first two days of my periods. My cycle was 26 days so 1/13 of my life was stuck in a bathroom puking. I would often have to sleep on the bathroom floor. My dentist asked if i was bulimic because the stomach acid had damaged my teeth. I had to organize my life around my periods. I was in danger of not graduating because i was missing too much school. So i was put on birth control pills and i didn't puke anymore. I got my life back. I'm an engineer now and can live my life without worrying about period puking interfering with my plans or goals.
Same here but as i got older it went from 2 days to three days, to 4 days..you get the idea. I would have a fever and the pain was so bad my family found me passed put on the floor more than once. I since discovered I have an inflammatory autoimmune disease so every period my body thought I was sick and attack itself. Birth control took care of it. But it wasn't covered by insurance when I was starting out. I had $300 a month for all incidental spending including food and gas. The pill cost me $130, or one third of that. It was a huge burden..part of the "cost of being female". So this fight isn't just about legality. It's also about mandatory coverage, which younger women may not realize is a very recent thing.
While I have never heard of this particular reaction, I totally believe you. (Newsflash: hormonal changes can make people very nauseous, right? 😉) I have also heard of women stuck in bed due to period pain for those first few days. One such woman I knew was not a whiny wimp, she had a high pain tolerance.
I'm so glad you were able to do that, because it was obviously affecting your health and quality of life in multiple areas and ways!! And women shouldn't have to worry about not only the health of their reproductive system, but the threat of long-term damage to your esophagus and teeth, as well as your future employability, when all of this can be so easily addressed. ❤ So happy for you! 🙂
I worked at a dermatology with 4 doctors on staff. One of them was so catholic that he was a deacon. If we had a girl who needed Accutane, we had to put her in with one of the other doctors because Dr. Catholic-pants refused to prescribe birth control as part of their routine, which is illegal.
🤦♀️Dr. Catholic Pants sounds like a trad Catholic. While, I don’t believe what the Catholic Church teaches, the Catholic Church does believe that birth control can be used for health reasons, just not for preventing pregnancy. I’m very pro-choice and pro-contraception.
I had Cysts on my ovaries. So the dr put me on it. It helped to dissolve them. Dr said they could burn them off but they would come back, so the Birth control was a proactive approach.
I am genetically anemic. Taking birth control continually to minimize periods has allowed me to retain more iron, which means working, going to college, and having a decent quality of life.
I suffer from andenomyosis. It causes a lot of issues, but mainly very, very, insanely heavy menstrual cycles. I am on a combo of daily hormonal pills AND a depo shot every 3 months. I am on double hormonal pills, and I mainly have to take birth control, so I am not bleeding out for 60 days straight, anemic, and able to be an active member of society. Imagine excessive bleeding while working a job that gets touchy when you need to change your tampon/pad combo, yet you STILL bleed all over your clothes. Having access to healthcare is important for any number of reasons, and we all shouldn't need to defend it!!!
I had dysmenorrhoea so severe that I couldn’t stop bleeding when I was a child… I needed to go on birth control, but I wasn’t able to because I was “too young” then I got abused in a way that resulted in pregnancy at 11.
Good grief. That is horrible. I’m so sorry that happened to you.
I’m so sorry! I hope you have found peace and healing.
My boring mundane story is that my husband had a vasectomy and I was still having heavy, lengthy periods so I got on birth control. I've been on it for years. Without it my cycle lasts way too long. My husband was not upset about getting the vasectomy because he decided if something happened to me he did not want to have any more children.
I became pregnant and at some point in my 3 1/2 months of pregnancy I had a miscarriage but yet my body couldn't abort the fetus and I had to have a D&C. If I hadn't had this procedure the toxins would have been deadly. A medical procedure which was necessary to save my life!
More of this humanizing, regular coverage on how reproductive Healthcare is vital and necessary, past and beyond victim blaming pregnant people for how they became pregnant, or how the pregnancy went horribly wrong
Politicians should not practice medicine.
They don't. They practice human control.
I could not walk for a week every month that's how sick I was when I had my period. My IUD saved my life. No more periods and I could function again.
VERY GOOD POINT! I neede birthconrol most of my adult life to control highly debilitating periods...then there are yhings like diagnosing and treating endometriosis, etc.
Same here. Cystic acne and you have to be on birth control, as well as get monthly pregnancy blood tests, because the medication is that dangerous to a fetus if you accidentally get pregnant (1%) while on birth control.
Reproductive health is a girl/woman's basic right.
I can’t even imagine living in the era without help from my doctors with all that was wrong with my body…. 💙🌊💙🌊
Great points! Thanks for putting this into context.
My Dr put me on birth control because my periods were so bad. The cramps the first 2 or 3 day, super heavy flow, irregular, the works.
Before the pill, I would literally pass out from the pain - I couldn't do anything. After the pill, I'd have my period for 1 to 2 hours every 4 Sundays, it was such a huge difference in my life.
Unborn aren't citizens and don't pay taxes. Remind anyone who thinks otherwise that umborn cross a southern border without documentation and don't speak English and see if they get it 🤔 if they don't, ask them if they know what hypocrisy is.
I support living citizens rights to choose for their medical services.
Clip this and put it on the networks. More people need to think about this.
Yes! Absolutely!
When I was a early teen my periods were excessive and very infrequent sometimes twice in six weeks. I was anemic and fainted at work so my doctor put me on birth control to regulate my menses. That’s what they were for originally.
Birth control helped dissolve my very painful ovarian cysts.
How about simply wanting birth control to space out your babies? It’s not good for moms or babies to have one every 12-18 months.
I needed bc pills until I started menopause because I have PCOS. I didn’t have health insurance many times before I went on SSD in 2012, so I was dependent on Planned Parenthood for my pills, and gynecological needs. Without the pills if and when my period would start was always a guess and I had terrible cramps.
In 2001 I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks, but still retained products of conception and I started to get sick. If I hadn't been able to have a D&C, I could have died. Now I could be prosecuted for this. Wake up America.
What she mentions in the video reflects immediately in the views itself. Since it's a mundane story none watch. 3k views in 6 days, that's social media for u.
My pills didn't work for me as birth control as my other medication blocked their efficacy. But they totally regulated my periods and more importantly, TOOK AWAY the depression I had lived with for years.
DON'T TREAD ON WOMEN'S HEALTH. VOTE BLUE 2024 🇺🇸 LET'S GO BIDEN 💙
There's already an exodus of gynecologists and obstetricians from anti-women's healthcare states. Imagine if these laws became federal; how many students of medicine would still specialise in gynecology and obstetrics? How long until women's healthcare will be unavailable to most women in the country?
When I was a teenager, I was on my period 28 days non-stop and then a 5-7 day respite before starting over again. I was in great pain and anemic because of the constant blood loss. I was put on the birth control pill to help regulate my periods and while they have never been pleasant, they did go to a normal 28 day cycle with me bleeding 7-8 days instead of nearly the entire month. It was later discovered that I have PCOS which was why my periods have always been so extreme and unpleasant.
Last year I started taking Depo-Provera, an injection contraceptive in order to medically stop my periods. In part to stop the extreme pain from my periods, but also to stop the growth of a non-cancerous fibroid tumour, as such tumours tend to grow when the woman menstruates. The regular surgery for removing such a tumour was not an option for me (accessing it and removing it through the cervix) as my cervix is unusually high and no speculum exists to actually safely reach it. The other option, removing it through C-Section, was also not available as that surgery is considered extremely high-risk for me and they would only contemplate it in a life-or-death scenario, which this is not.
After a partially-successful medical procedure to block all veins and arteries attached to the tumour to stop blood circulation to it in order to kill it remotely, it was discovered that it had hijacked an artery that goes through one of my ovaries and thus not completely dead. To stop the growth and preserve my ovary I was placed on Depo-Provera to completely stop my menstruation.
Why do we have to put our ish out on front street in order to get BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS?!?!
I had horrible pain with my period and for the longest time my periods were every 4 to 6 months. The pill regulated me and alleviated the pain.
I used birth control pills to regulate my periods. Each month, I bled Jello chunks. I had to use super absorbency tampons AND overnight pads. I had to change both every 60-75 minutes or I would bleed through to my pants.
They don't think themselves, so they aren't expecting you to think!
GILEAD IS UPON US VOTE BLUE
I agree.
And my goodness, what a beautiful face!
