#3. Birth control is no easy decision (and you should know all your options).

Between the NuvaRing, shots, IUDs, the patch, and pills, picking a method of birth control is confusing. Whether you opt for hormonal birth control to ease period symptoms or for actual birth control (or both, which is most often the case), the method that’s best for you is extremely personal. What’s right for your best friend, or even your gynecologist, may not be your cup of tea. As Berry said on The Everygirl Podcast, “With hormonal birth control, it is so important that you are fully educated and empowered with the information about how it’s impacting your body.” Whether you prefer hormonal birth control or a hormone-free method, research all your options, identify the root cause of any symptoms, and talk to your doctor about what’s best for you.
