In Episode 21, our very own @emily_thepurist busted some common misconceptions about the pill.โโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโ Hormonal birth control hormones are, as the name suggests, not human hormones. They're more like pseudo-hormones. They are still chemical messengers, though, telling your brain and body what to do.โโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโ Levonorgestrel is possibly a name you've seen before - it's in a lot of oral contraceptives, the Mirena, and even the morning-after pill. It's a progestin. โโโโโโโโ Progestins are different to progesterone. โโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโ While progesterone is hugely beneficial for our brain + hair health, for example, progestin has been linked to depression, anxiety and hair loss. โโโโโโโโ And, just to add insult to injury, progestin will rob you of your progesterone (because they won't allow you to ovulate - the only way you'll be able to make any progesterone in the first place.โโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโ Have you tuned in to Episode 21 yet, fellow witch? ๐ซโโโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโ Em & T x
