Birth control doesn’t regulate your cycle—it overrides it.
The birth control pill works by preventing ovulation, altering your hormones, and thinning your uterine lining.
These changes are designed to prevent pregnancy, but they also stop your body from going through its natural monthly cycle and experiencing its normal hormonal rhythms.
Want to understand your body and track fertility naturally? We highly recommend taking our FEMM (Fertility Education and Medical Management) class!
