Ladies: Lemme holla at cha for a second

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

So while I was wildin out on dudes in the locker room about abortion, we gotta have a talk about chicks using abortion as birth control.
Men are only one part of the equation.

How can we help women prevent unwanted pregnancies?
And I'm not talking about genuine accidents b/c that happens. Sex happens. It's normal and no contraception is 100%.

But I know good and damn well a LOT of these unwanted pregnancies ain't got shyt to do with antibiotics while we on the pill.

I don't like abortion but I support the right for a woman to do what she wants with her body ESPECIALLY b/c childbirth is a life or death enterprise. You can't make somebody risk their lives for someone else even if it's a child.

But instead I'm talking about prevention. Let's brainstorm some reasonable solutions and get to the bottom of how and why chicks still getting pregnant AND stds in the age of condoms, birth control, spermicide, Day after pills, IUDs, female condoms. Something is going on.

Btw...I'm not interested in judging women. We get enough useless shame and that's part of the problem now. I'm interested in authentic solutions based discourse.

Education

It's no easy fix unless you fix poverty, cycles of abuse, mental health, lack of access to resources and education, culture, community and media.

Many people self medicate with sex.

The culture doesnt stress and normalize safe sex.

I agree education is key and it starts with Mothers. A lot of our mothers have conscious or unconscious trauma that hasn’t been addressed or healed.

They may impact how they communicate with their daughters around sexual health.
I know my mum basically told me not to do it. So naturally my next point of call were my friends, so I ended up with a lot of miseducation.

You can’t stop young peoples curiosity about their bodies but the agenda through media is one of hyper sexualisation so parents do have to be more pro active from an earlier age.

Certified experts that can educate us on our body, sex etc. To be fair, I’ve never got into the debate of abortion even As a teenager. Idk what to really say

 

[fckyoupayme]

Education and make birth control affordable and easily accessible. Take away the stigma of women wanting to have sex. IE stop calling women hoes, sluts, etc.

Off topic and on topic, I think we need more education about how the female body works in general and how BC affects the body.

I HATE when people just say "get on BC." BC is a big decision that can have short term and long term health implications. BC can fukk you up.

I was on the Nuva ring for 3 months and it fukked my hormones for 2 years. My progesterone levels are just getting back to normal and that's only because I started taking this herb call Vitrex which took away my PMS, bloating and extended the time between cycles.

I just hate that these conversations about BC always seem to leave the part out about how BC can kill your sex drive, cause long term hormone imbalance and other health issues.

I would never put myself on hormonal birth control again or even recommend that to any woman.

If more women were just educated on ovulation that would stop soooooo many unwanted pregnancies without messing with drugs. It women just stop fukking on days they are ovulating the unwanted pregnancies would go down by 75% easy. No money, no drugs need.

I used vitex for a while. I noticed it made my periods super water-y. I think they might have gotten longer too.

I love it. My periods discomfort has decreased significantly.

If you like it, the Yogi pms tea has it as an active ingredient. I'd either take pills or a double cup of the tea (two tea bags to one cup of water).

My period is like 2-3 days. I couldn't take it.

I just pop the pills and call it a day. You wanted longer periods?

No, I was trying to regulate (what I thought was) a hormonal issue.

What was the issue?

 

[HarlemHottie]

What was the issue?

A skin problem that they claimed was hormonal but was not, an 'orphan illness.' Well guess what? I outsmarted they ass. It wasn't hormonal and I mostly fixed it.

(pm me if you want deets and latin names n shyt)

try to be with a man who respects that you have goals that pregnancy may interfere with (if that's your position). I only really had frequent unprotected sex with my ex "fiance" but he always respected that i had shyt going on and he didn't try to shoot my club up just for his enjoyment. Plus, he had his own goals and standards for being a parent as well.

some guys are willing to risk a lot for 10 seconds of pleasure.... consider if that's your type
