Podcast field notes:
Apparently Helen is now a star.
Helen can explain how to find the right contraceptive, but she does not use one herself, so how?
I regret never getting into drinking alcohol.
It seems like they did the whole podcast on Skype, Helens sound is off.
Helens started the pill at 15/16 but had to change because of migraines. The host had the same problem but did not get her changed after 100 years.
Hele said a Catholic man-made the pill? That's why there is a 7-day break (can someone confirm this).
You don’t get told what to expect when you get the pill (is not your GP supposed to tell you everything you can expect), it's frustrating and it not just «go on the pill».
There are different kinds of contraceptives.
Helens experience no the pill: got it to help with migraines (but she just said it was because she was a naughty girl at 15!). Crazy mood swings, very sensitive to what her hormones were doing, and got on the pill to chill out. It worked fine, last summer she remembered feeling depressed and it was always in patterns. She felt it had to do with her period and it probably was because of her pill, and she came off the pill after talking to her doctor. It improved her mind, she was feeling things again (yay).
The host went from the small pill to the combination pill and did not like not having a period.
Helen, felt like a woman again when she got her period again, very satisfying. Functioning as she should. Emotions are more up and down now, on er Periode Helen is a bitch (her own words) and a lot of things annoy her and she has a lot less patience now when she is older. She is happier now because the pill is not numbing her emotions and she is not depressed.
A lot of friends and followers have echoed her experience with the negative side of the pill, the doctors are too willing to give women the pill and tell them to «deal with it». Compared to the male contraceptive, dudes got depressed on the pill and the trial got stopped.
Talks about her boyfriend. Her boyfriend would gladly take the pill if it helped Helen. Also, it´s the penises that make you pregnant. Condoms are not good, so Mark insisted on using a condom. It makes stuff cleaner too. Wadle Wadle waddle to the bathroom is a bit awkward.
Helen tells she would struggle to put hormones into her body, after what she experienced. She feels like it´s unfair that she has to have the responsibility to not get pregnant, it´s all on the woman, expect a condom. The host reminds the liner that a condom helps you avoid STD. Helen is a rebel, she knows she is moaning about everything that she has to do to not get pregnant and tells us that it has to do with her morals.
She makes the coiling sound super scary, and has negative to say about every contraceptive there is out there- she shares her friend's experiences. She wants an alternative to the condom.
the feminist in Helen: it´s because we are women that we have to deal with all the negative consequences of the pill, it´s just how it has always been.
She keeps talking about her friends all the time, how many friends has she. Keeps having to explain to herself why it is not irresponsible for her to not be on the pill. The host agrees and tells Helen, that she is not irresponsible because she is taking care of her mental half because of the side effects of the pill. It also depends on the relationship you have, as long as you are on the same page as your partner its nobodies business.
It takes a while until your body goes back to normal when you get off a pill, she can't use the app thing for tracking her periods. Her period was very unpredictable.
A phantom pregnancy, had pregnancy symptoms when she got off the pill. It appeared to her friend Katy. She felt tired, nauseous, something with her boobs. It takes your body a long ass time to get to «normal» after you get off your pill and want to get pregnant. Helen just said: just have a lot of unprotected sex.
Helen feels like she is still not back to normal, its march now and she wants off the pill the previous September.
Helen: you got to do what you have to do when it comes to contraceptives. But if you experience negative side effects and it affects you mentally you have to put yourself first talk with your partner and find another solution. Some partners can a bit shitty about things like a condom. You have to do what works for you. Just come off the pill if it does not work for you, try something different.
There is no answer, it's bullshit that is all on female- it's not fair. It´s a very personal thing. Can always blame the boyfriend for becoming pregnant if you forget the pill and you don’t use condoms, just blames it on the 1-2 % (the pill is like 98% effective?).
It's a good thing Helen spoke about her (very negative) story, it can help other girls that have bad experiences. Girls should not feel bad for coming off the pill.
Adult relationships, Helen's point of view: communication and understanding are very important. LOL
Mark was a babe about Helen coming off the pill, she was very lucky he was more worried about her health.
End.
I can never be as good as @Lunamoon22 but this is as close as I can get after 46 min with Helen.
Also, forgive me for all the grammar mistakes, I just spotted some but can not be bothered to change them
