How Birth Control Pills Work

The pill works on a brain level, not just the ovaries. This is because the brain signals the ovaries to ovulate. It gives you a very high does of synthetic hormones such as estrogen and progestin. Birth control impacts the brain by shutting down brain-ovarian communication. FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) are not secreted, so eggs aren’t ready for ovulation.

How Being On the Pill Can Alter Partner Selection

Women tend to choose partners that are more genetically similar to them because of the HMC complex. This allows you to detect genes of a partner through pheromones. This gets scrambled on birth control. Normally, women unconsciously select for the most genetically dissimilar partner for the highest gene variety as possible. Also, it makes women worse at fascial recognition. Meaning, women choose more feminine faces, rather than wide jawed masculine ones.

How To Get Off Of The Pill

When it comes to getting off, it really is an all or nothing approach because it only protects against getting pregnant if you take it as prescribed. The other thing is the brain isn’t getting enough hormone to get shut down. It is a huge hormonal shift when you come off. If you started for symptom management, you may want to prep your body because the symptoms will come back. Your going to need to support your body before and after with healthy lifestyle.
