It is surprising that for as long as we've had birth control available to women there is still so much we don't know about how it impacts our body, our relationships, and our overall life. 

You may be familiar with some of the side effects of hormonal birth control, like depression, blood clots, and weight gain. You might also know that birth control pills, which are often prescribed for things other than contraception—like irregular periods or acne—aren’t the best solution for managing symptoms. In fact, the pill ultimately makes symptoms like acne worse. But hormonal birth control has other, more far-reaching consequences…Specifically, taking the pill can wreak havoc on your love life. We know that probably sounds far out or completely made up, but the idea that hormonal birth control has real consequences for your love life comes directly from scientific research, that is what Cody is going to dive into with us today.
