After I have been forced to stop taking the pill for reasons of health, I finally realized that those nasty depressive moods that were getting worse and worse with every month were just another side effect of the hormones I ate for years. I don’t remember anyone talking about possible mental impacts like that when I was younger, but they were real and maybe something I felt ok to deal with in exchange for feeling safe and sexual liberated. Today it’s nothing I’d chose again even if I could. So after giving birth to my son I tried the copper spiral – and got pregnant again. Maybe because, as they found out, my uterus is heart-shaped. Romantic, but shitty. All this led to the toughest decision of my life and I swear, I don’t want to go through this ever again. What now? Condoms, yes. But also: Getting to know my cycle better, being in touch with my body and even more aware of what is happening inside it and, surprise, also slowly becoming friends with the idea of having a second child with my partner one day. @naturalcycles helps me with all of that. It’s a complete natural method that works through taking your temperature every morning. I know, this is not something for everybody. But if you´re over 18 and in a stable relationship, if you´re either planning to have a child or want to prevent pregnancy, it may be – like it is for me. More info up in my IG stories. But keep in mind: It does not protect from sexual transmitted infections. NC has an effectiveness rate of 93% with typical use – that means 7 out of 100 women might get pregnant during one year of use. #YourCycleMatters #NaturalCycles / ADVERTISING
