Birth control is good, actually

One TikTok creator told viewers it took her six years to “fix her hormones” after stopping birth control. Another cut up a pack of birth control pills that she said “ruined me as a person.” A third called it “one of the most damaging things you can put in your body.” 

Hormonal contraception is getting a flood of bad buzz across social media, where posters are listing side effects like depression, anxiety, low sex drive, acne, unwanted weight changes, and more.
