What Do You Write About in Your Blog?

Birth control is a place to discuss your issues and options. Are you looking for a new form of birth control? Having problems with your current method? Just interested in what your options are? Then you're in the right place.

Birth Control is the place to discuss all methods of birth control- hormonal methods, condoms, IUDs, FAM, and more. We aren't biased toward any particular method. Our goal is to get correct information to those who want/need it, so they can make their own informed decisions

Why Did You Start Your Blog?

The current team took over the community from someone else who started it. We have a passion for women's health and information, and for getting this information to those who need it and are looking for it; that includes men.
