But once upon a time back in her teens, she was prescribed the pill to manage frequent menstrual bleeding. In this installment of our Coming Off the Pill series, she shares her experience on the pill, why she stopped taking it, and her introduction to and embrace of NFP (known more commonly in non-religious circles as fertility awareness or fertility awareness methods (FAM)).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-like-many-teen-girls-olivia-experienced-irregular-bleeding\"><span id=\"like-many-teen-girls-olivia-experienced-irregular-bleeding\">Like many teen girls, Olivia experienced irregular bleeding<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Irregular bleeding isn\u2019t per se unusual for the first few years after menstruation starts, as we covered in a two-part series on teen cycles (Part 1 is <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/naturalwomanhood-org-teen-periods-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>). But what Olivia experienced was out-of-the-ordinary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She explained,\u201cWhen I first started menstruating around age 16, things were highly irregular. While the bleeding was never crazy heavy and I never had cramps or pain, I was bleeding about every 2 weeks. And once it started, it would go on for more than a week at a time. Not knowing where else to turn, my mother brought me to my regular doctor at the local hospital.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-irregular-or-heavy-bleeding-in-teen-girls-should-be-addressed-not-covered-up\"><span id=\"why-irregular-or-heavy-bleeding-in-teen-girls-should-be-addressed-not-covered-up\">Why irregular or heavy bleeding in teen girls should be addressed, not covered up<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting a pin in Olivia\u2019s story for a minute, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) acknowledges that the menstrual cycle is a <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/interview-with-lisa-hendrickson-jack-fifth-vital-sign-fertility-friday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fifth vital sign<\/a>, especially for teens and young women. In a 2015 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/clinical\/clinical-guidance\/committee-opinion\/articles\/2015\/12\/menstruation-in-girls-and-adolescents-using-the-menstrual-cycle-as-a-vital-sign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">committee opinion<\/a> reaffirmed in 2021, ACOG stated:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIdentification of abnormal menstrual patterns in adolescence may improve early identification of potential health concerns for adulthood.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Box 2 of the same ACOG document lists no less than 14 conditions that abnormal uterine bleeding might indicate, ranging from stress to blood clotting disorders to thyroid problems to (gulp!) cancer. Abnormal bleeding in a teen girl, then, is definitely worth a workup. But that\u2019s not what Olivia experienced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-her-doctor-offered-the-birth-control-pill-nbsp\"><span id=\"her-doctor-offered-the-birth-control-pill\">Her doctor offered the birth control pill&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, she recalled, \u201cThe only option I was given was oral contraception. No tests were run to determine the cause of the bleeding or rule out any pathology. I was given a prescription for oral contraception and told that it would \u2018regulate\u2019 my cycle. I asked about possible side effects and if it had the potential to <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/medication-affect-fertility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interfere with my future fertility<\/a>, and I was completely brushed off and told that it couldn\u2019t possibly affect my fertility down the road.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia knows now that a normal cycle, with ovulation and menstruation, <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/no-cycle-on-the-pill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is very different hormonally<\/a> from what happens on the pill and that the pill doesn\u2019t regulate but overrides the cycle. Without ovulation and menstruation, the growing female body is deprived of certain health benefits, as covered in our Reasons Women Need Periods <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/topic\/fertility-awareness-methods\/reasons-women-need-periods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">series.<\/a> But her doctor shared none of this with Olivia and her mom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-olivia-took-the-pill-for-6-months-but-her-period-didn-t-return-for-over-a-year-afterward\"><span id=\"olivia-took-the-pill-for-6-months-but-her-period-didnt-return-for-over-a-year-afterward\">Olivia took the pill for 6 months but her period didn\u2019t return for over a year afterward<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>She continued, \u201cSo for 6 months I took the pill. I had a boyfriend, but I was not sexually active [and had] no intention to become so, and so the only benefit I got was that my frequent bleeding stopped. My new \u2018periods,\u2019 or rather withdrawal bleeds, happened on schedule, though for the first time in my life they also gave me cramps.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She went on, \u201cThe doctor had told me I only needed to take the pills for 6 months to regulate my cycle, so I stopped taking them after that point. However, I then went on to have <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/post-pill-amenorrhea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post-pill amenorrhea<\/a> that lasted more than one year. I never brought this up to my doctor because the one tool in her toolbox failed to fix the issue last time, and I didn\u2019t want to go on the pill again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-as-many-women-have-found-olivia-learned-that-the-pill-unfortunately-didn-t-fix-what-was-wrong-nbsp\"><span id=\"as-many-women-have-found-olivia-learned-that-the-pill-unfortunately-didnt-fix-what-was-wrong\">As many women have found, Olivia learned that the pill unfortunately didn\u2019t fix what was wrong&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>She observed, \u201cEventually my cycle started on its own again, but once again, nothing was regular. This time though, my cycles were very long, often in the range of 60 days before menses would begin again.\u201d This pattern, or lack thereof, became Olivia\u2019s \u201c\u2018normal\u201d for the next few years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia said, \u201cThings stayed like this through college, and I continued to keep things to myself because I had no interest in going on the pill again. Granted, I don\u2019t recall any doctor asking me about my cycle during those years either.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-friend-noticed-mini-personality-changes-in-women-who-went-on-the-pill\"><span id=\"a-friend-noticed-mini-personality-changes-in-women-who-went-on-the-pill\">A friend noticed \u201cmini personality changes\u201d in women who went on the pill<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia knew plenty of her female peers were on hormonal birth control. But she noted, \u201cpersonally, I had a fairly strong aversion to taking pharmaceutical drugs and a general distrust of doctors that stemmed from prior medical trauma.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were other reasons not to go back on birth control. Interestingly, \u201cOne of my closest friends in high school also pointed out that she could tell who started taking the pill because they\u2019d undergo a mini personality change and suddenly become very moody. I started paying attention to this, and she was right.\u201d Olivia continued to avoid hormonal contraception throughout college and beyond, but she had yet to hear about what could be done to actually treat the reproductive issues she and other young women experienced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-until-she-learned-about-symptopro-her-only-knowledge-of-nfp-was-the-rhythm-method\"><span id=\"until-she-learned-about-symptopro-her-only-knowledge-of-nfp-was-the-rhythm-method\">Until she learned about SymptoPro, her only knowledge of NFP was the rhythm method<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Until her engagement, Olivia had little knowledge of natural family planning or FAMs. She \u201cknew that my parents had utilized the <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/fam-basics-what-is-the-rhythm-method-natural-birth-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rhythm method<\/a> in their marriage, and that while my sisters and I were planned, both of my brothers exist because the method wasn\u2019t very effective for them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She \u201chad never heard about modern methods of NFP until I was engaged, and was required to take a full course of instruction as part of my marriage prep requirements for getting married within the Catholic Church.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was when Olivia learned SymptoPro, the symptothermal <a href=\"https:\/\/symptopro.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">method <\/a>that incorporates cervical mucus observations, vaginal sensations, and daily <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/fertility-awareness-method-basics-basal-body-temperature-bbt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">basal body temperature<\/a> (BBT) readings. Many other couples in her local area were already effectively using SymptoPro for family planning, so plenty of community support was available to Olivia and her husband. She noted, \u201cI didn\u2019t need any convincing. I wanted kids, so having my cycle disappear for a year or more at a time wasn\u2019t a good option for me. As an avid reader, I\u2019d also come across some books on [Pope John Paul II\u2019s teachings on the] Theology of the Body, and I fell in love with this view of human sexuality as a gift.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sometimes-women-need-to-switch-nfp-methods-but-symptopro-s-been-a-great-fit-for-olivia\"><span id=\"sometimes-women-need-to-switch-nfp-methods-but-symptopros-been-a-great-fit-for-olivia\">Sometimes women need to switch NFP methods, but SymptoPro&#8217;s been a great fit for Olivia<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, being postpartum or starting night shift work or other lifestyle changes necessitate switching FAM or NFP methods, but that hasn\u2019t been the case for Olivia. She said, \u201cafter becoming more involved in the fertility awareness world, I did come to realize that other methods existed. Initially, I had no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, she observed, \u201cI\u2019ve never felt the draw to <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/when-should-you-change-your-fertility-awareness-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">switch to another method<\/a>. Not only had I already gone through training and had experience with the SymptoPro method, but I do feel like it is a good fit for me and my lifestyle. I love the info and reassurance I get from having my temperature records, and the simplicity of it becoming part of my regular routine really works for me. And it\u2019s cost effective in that I don\u2019t have to continually purchase testing strips. I love that other methods exist so that women and couples can find what works for them, but I am grateful that just by happenstance, I ended up with the method that is a clear fit for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-she-wishes-other-women-and-couples-knew-about-nfp-and-fams-like-symptopro\"><span id=\"what-she-wishes-other-women-and-couples-knew-about-nfp-and-fams-like-symptopro\">What she wishes other women and couples knew about NFP and FAMs like SymptoPro<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia shared, \u201cNow, as someone who gets to work and spend my days surrounded by the message and research behind modern NFP methods, I couldn\u2019t be happier to share that information with others. I wish more women and doctors knew that there is another tool in the toolbox, because I wish I had known when I was a teenager.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She wishes her younger self had been given the full picture of the potential harms of hormonal birth control and that she\u2019d been educated on what else could be done to dig for real answers instead of a Band-Aid \u2018quick fix.\u2019 \u201cPerhaps I wouldn\u2019t have been given a pill that increases my risk of developing breast cancer. Maybe my doctor would have ordered a hormone panel or an ultrasound to investigate possible causes behind my issues. While I have never been given a diagnosis of any sort, looking back over my cycle history and knowing what I know now, indicators of possible PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome] were there, and at the very least something abnormal was going on.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her professional role now as a SymptoPro instructor and Director of Fertility Education, Olivia ensures other young women and couples can access the personal health data and providers trained in restorative reproductive medicine that she never had access to in her teens or during college. \u201cI know now that doctors who are educated in natural fertility and hormonal health exist.\u201d She\u2019s \u201cthankful that even though I\u2019ve never worked with one of [them], I\u2019ve been able to monitor changes in my cycle charts to determine which supplements and lifestyle factors make a difference for me and my health.\u201d Through her professional work, she\u2019s helping other women do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-reading\"><span id=\"additional-reading\">Additional Reading:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/coming-off-the-pill-eden\/\">Coming Off the Pill: Eden\u2019s Story<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/coming-off-the-pill-taryns-story\/\">Coming Off the Pill: Taryn\u2019s Story<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/coming-off-the-pill-hannas-story-birth-control-infertility\/\">Coming Off the Pill: Hanna\u2019s Story<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/coming-off-the-pill-cassies-story\/\">Coming Off the Pill: Cassie\u2019s Story<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u0422\u0430\u0431\u043b\u0435\u0442\u043a\u0438 \u043d\u0435 \u0438\u0441\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0442\u043e, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u0431\u044b\u043b\u043e \u043d\u0435 \u0442\u0430\u043a.","protected":false},"author":85,"featured_media":21041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5183,5258],"tags":[5487,5711,6306],"class_list":{"0":"post-21016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birth-control-issues","8":"category-coming-off-the-pill","9":"tag-shes-not-herself-when-someone-you-love-is-struggling-with-birth-control-side-effects","10":"tag-birth-control-issues","11":"tag-coming-off-the-pill","12":"cs-entry","13":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Coming Off the Pill and learning SymptoPro: Olivia&#039;s Story- NW<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Olivia came off the Pill because it didn&#039;t fix her abnormal bleeding.
