In the 1970s and ’80s, Paul Ehrlich\u2019s book The Population Bomb <\/em>made the claim that population growth would cause the doom of our planet. It triggered international campaigns and policies aimed at controlling birth rates worldwide. While we were trying to save the earth with implementation of now- disproven population policies and theories[i]<\/a>, we endangered one key \u201cspecies\u201d: humans, specifically women. Women\u2019s health has been put at risk by the widespread use of contraceptives and, for many, their own ecosystem has fallen apart and even become hostile. Two contemporary authors, Holly Grigg-Spall[ii]<\/a> and Mary Eberstadt[iii]<\/a>, while coming from radically opposed viewpoints on ethics and politics, each make the case that hormonal contraceptives have much to do with the endangerment of women.<\/p>\n

Contraceptive pollution is harming women\u2019s health<\/h2>\n

\u201cSymptoms ranged from significant increase in breast size and severe pain, mouth ulcers, loss of sex drive, significant increase in appetite leading to weight gain, monthly bouts of thrush, depression, fits of rage, fatigue, suicidal thoughts and loss of focus and motivation,\u201d writes one women whose testimony is one of many that Grigg-Spall quotes in her book, Sweetening the Pill,<\/em> about the negative effects of hormonal contraceptives. She adds that \u201cteenage reproductive systems are shut down before they are fully developed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grigg-Spall makes an essential contribution to the conversation on women\u2019s health. She demonstrates that despite the continuous \u201cpositive\u201d discourse of the pharmaceutical industry (under the guise of reproductive healthcare and justice), hormonal contraceptives are harmful drugs and directly linked to women\u2019s health disorders. She explains in detail how the pill\u2019s mechanisms cause every women to \u201cexperience, over time, impaired physical and mental health.\u201d She lists extensive direct effects brought on by various pills\u2019 formulations: dehydration of the body, vitamin deficiency, suppression of the adrenal glands, and reduction of testosterone. These disruptions can result in increased allergies, low energy, poor sleeping patterns, increased blood pressure and stress, higher risk of heart attack, low libido.<\/p>\n

In addition, ample evidence points to the serious long-term health risks of these medications, including breast cancer<\/a> and life-threatening blood clots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The impact of the pill for Grigg-Spall was beyond physiological, she writes, citing her own struggles with the drug as she desperately sought a way to prevent pregnancy: \u00a0\u201cThrough a decade of pill taking, I was completely cut off from any sense of my body\u2019s true physicality.\u201d She quotes Susan Faludi\u2019s book Backlash,<\/em> saying that \u201cthe suppression of ovulation and menstruation is physically infantilizing.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the healthcare sector, the contraceptive model has long been adopted and continues to be a given for many women of reproductive age. \u201cAccording to the medical industry, we are all disabled by menstruation and the conversation is framed by this ideology. There is no discussion of the benefits of ovulation,\u201d Grigg-Spall writes. \u201cPregnancy is often described in terms that suggest it to be a disease\u201d\u2015 a less than welcoming cultural environment for women. \u00a0She explain the multi-level pressure on women to use contraceptives, from heavy pharma marketing, with the FDA\u2019s endorsement, to doctors\u2019 pushback when women complain of the side-effects.<\/p>\n

A firm believer in women\u2019s rights, she makes this strong indictment: \u201cThe pill is a rejection of femaleness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Contraceptive pollution is harming women\u2019s social eco-system<\/h2>\n

A woman\u2019s social \u201cecosystem\u201d is complex, but we\u2019re focusing here on her primary relationship, a spouse\/partner. Eberstadt and Grigg-Spall help shed light on some of the changes that have happened in the past 50 years that affect this relationship.<\/p>\n

Eberstadt, in her book Adam and Eve after the Pill<\/em>, makes a strong case that contraception was the technological engine that led to major negative changes in the way men and women lived their sexuality and their relationships in general. She describes the social evidence we have witnessed in the past 50 years of broad use of these methods: an increase in pre-marital sex and cohabitation, of extra-marital affairs, of divorce<\/a>, and a general acceptance of sexual behaviors previously considered harmful to society. She writes that \u201cmodern contraception may even be the central fact of our time: it is hard to think of any other whose demographic, social, behavioral, and personal fallout has been as profound.\u201d<\/p>\n

The relationship between a woman and her spouse\/partner, which until now was a primary base for a stable \u201cecosystem,\u201d is not thriving. While, according to Eberstadt, there is ample evidence that \u201cmarried, monogamous people are most likely to be happy,\u201d fewer find themselves in that situation. The number of divorced or separated women has gone from about 6% in 1950 to 15% today, and the ratio of never married from 17% to 29%. Fewer women are married: 47% today vs 65% in 1950[iv]<\/a>. It comes at a high price for women who end up raising children on their own and having to fend for themselves on one income.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, within couples, interest in sex has seriously declined, reports Eberstadt. While she explains this phenomenon by the major role pornography is playing in men\u2019s sexuality, Grigg-Spall also discusses how women\u2019s libido is harmed by the pill. She sees the pill as a way for women to make themselves available on men’s terms, not for the good of women, and contrasts the US standard with Japan, where men use condoms out of respect for the woman\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Grigg-Spall describes how \u201csociety demands that women be sexually available,\u201d which goal contraceptives accomplish. But the pill has not fulfilled its promise to make women more free and equal in the context of sexual relationships (instead pressuring them to \u201chave sex like a man\u201d) and professional relationships (where women are put into a mold \u201cin a society that still idealizes the male\u201d).<\/p>\n

What can fertility awareness change?<\/h2>\n

Fertility awareness methods (FAM) are a game-changer in this crisis. First, they relieve women from “pollution” of their bodies. \u201cIn the few months I took off the pill I felt lighter. A rush of positive emotions let me feel happiness, excitement and enthusiasm,\u201d writes Grigg-Spall. She also explains how \u201cknowing that our hormones fluctuate and experientially understanding the monthly repeated patterns of change to our energy levels and mood can have a very freeing effect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only does the elimination of these hormonal drugs free women from side effects and elevated health risks, but Grigg-Spall also mentions studies from the Center for Menstrual Cycle Research (CeMCOR) that suggest that \u201cregular menstruation with consistent ovulation is the key to good heart, bone and breast health throughout a woman\u2019s life.\u201d Women who use FAMs become more understanding and accepting of the stages of their cycles.<\/p>\n

Fertility awareness not only relieves women from the oppressive power of large pharmaceutical companies, it also reverses the relationship between doctors and women: the provider is interested in understanding the patient\u2019s unique cycle and supporting her in achieving her goals with it. Instead of working against her natural fertility, a doctor can use the information provided by the cycle to find and treat underlying problems such as endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, and the hormonal deficits that cause PMS.<\/p>\n

Finally, fertility awareness allows men to better understand and respect women. Men can be more supportive when they understand the reality of the woman\u2019s cycle. While the pill obliterates the woman\u2019s unique hormonal and cyclical personality, Fertility awareness methods make it relevant to both partners and creates a healthy discussion about both partners\u2019 needs.\u00a0 Learning how to use FAMs give an opportunity for true and educated collaboration for the partners\u2019 mutual benefit. Couples who practice FAMs report how it improved their relationship<\/a>, and while more research needs to be done in this area, one study indicated<\/a> a divorce rate as low as 0.2%.<\/p>\n

The unique and exquisite complementarity that can be achieved through a well-understood fertility awareness method can indeed save women and benefit our entire species. Let\u2019s save the earth, starting with women.<\/p>\n
