Years ago, if one were to bring this sort of thing into a conversation, you were looked at with such distain, you tended to keep your mouth shut. As an ob/gyn I knew this.... but not to the degree that Sarah Hill lays out. This article is pure gold.
We've been conditioned to think you can take a pharmaceutical and it will do the one sole thing required of it, and nothing more. Sure, there is the usual fine print about side-effects, but not reading fine print is as conditioned as popping pills.
Anything producing an effect as profound as the cancellation of female fertility has to produce a mass of other effects. It HAS to.
Long overdue and crucial knowledge for women and men.
As a young woman my semi-retired EMINENT Specialist Physician, who, after I told him I had acne (new for me) and depression and just felt unwell after starting The Pill, this Specialist Physician said I was NEVER ever to take The Pill again.
When I became pregnant once again, despite using two (2) advised methods to stop a pregnancy, and that same EMINENT Specialist Physician gave me a letter to my Obstetrician/Gynaecologist for termination of that pregnancy. His colleague and friend the single female Obstetrician listened and asked questions, then said " I do not do that type of procedure"
Back to the EMINENT Specialist Physician who sent me to another Obstetrician who agreed to do the termination.
My Physician was adamant. Prior he had advised me to have the German measles - Rubella needle after my 2nd child was born. Reflecting now, he knew that injections were fallible? especially in the first 3 months of a pregnancy? He knew I did not need anymore major stressors in my life and was still working out why I had a very sudden major Operation in less than 3 months after my 2nd child was born. No illness before or obvious in that pregnancy.
This Specialist would be ahead in his thinking in todays medical world, as a Dr he was in WW11.
Specialist Physicians who look at the functioning of the entire body, have been replaced with Specialists who look at one organ and its functioning in the body.
After reading this Article today, makes me surmise that this very highly respected Specialist physician - throughout my Country, was aware of mutations in Births happening after the Rubella needle was given, and other women only conditions + Births.
And many other very, very wise observations and statements he made to me.
He was way ahead of his time and as he/wife had no children, we, the patients benefitted from that with first class care, and his astuteness and observations of and changes after WW11.
Anything contrary to nature is unsustainable. Reproduction is Nature's Norm in all species plant and animal. Interference with this most basic natural process will unavoidably bring about unforseen consequences.
Fascinating! I've never been on the pill and haven't thought much about it, but of course it's a pharmaceutical product and altering hormones is no small thing. Hormones affect every system in the body as you've pointed out, and this is why hormone blockers and cross sex hormones are also a terrible idea for teenagers and young adults.
The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously decided in favor of a postal worker from Pennsylvania in a significant religious liberty case involving the appropriateness of employers’ accommodation of religious preferences in the workplace.
I started taking Ortho Novum in 1970. In 1972 I stopped to have a Lippes Loop inserted. My body pushed it out. Back to the Ortho. I took it until 1978. When I stopped it took me exactly 2cycles to get pregnant. After my first child was born I tried a copper 7 on advice from my OBGYN. After a few bouts of intense bleeding I had it removed, back to Ortho. Again, once stopping the pills it took me exactly 2 cycles to get pregnant. I really had no complications from the medication. Except lighter periods, and clearer skin. Two children were enough for us. As easy as it was for me to conceive, without contraception, or witholding relations, I could possibly have had a child every 12 to 18 months. Not my idea of bliss.
Dang. So interesting and wow are we complex or what?! Now that we out perform men in academics, I wish for a bright future that the next generation continues to research 🔬 the heck out of us. I wonder about the permanent effects of teens taking birth control and impacting the brain, like you mentioned even after it’s no longer taken.
I took accutane when I was 12. And I had to also take birth control bc of the dangerous side effects if I were to get pregnant. I stopped taking it in grad school in my 20s, and went back to the arm implant recently, I feel so much better mentally. I have no mood fluctuations, no physical discomfort. But I have to wonder if it was because my neuro chemistry was impacted at an early age by the combo of accutane and birth control.
Thanks for the info and helping women understand themselves better.
Worthy of sharing far and wide as to inform the risks associated with fiddling with biological and hormonal programming of the human species.
I think things are far enough down the road with this as the introduction of hormonal treatments for preventing pregnancy, have indeed altered global reproduction now some 2-3 generations on from its introduction.
My rudimentary calculations show that the human species will go essentially extinct by about 2100-2150 when combined with other chemically induced environmental effects, food supply restrictions effected through arbitrary regulatory mandates and autoimmune disorders.
It only takes about three generations for example, where you have say 1.5 new humans born for every two procreative human pairs currently existing, to decline a population cohort to near zero from a baseline. (example population of 10, assuming equal distribution between male and female, and accounting for rounding down in procreating pairs to divisible number to account for accidental death or disease rendering procreation impossible, would proceed thus generationally: Gen 1 = 5 pairs (10 people) yield 7.5 total procreated. Gen 2 = 3 pairs (6 people) yield 4.5 total procreated. Gen 3 = 2 pairs (4 people) yield 3 total procreated. Gen 4 = 1 pair (2 people) yield 1.5 procreated. Gen 4 = 0 pairs (1. 5 people) yield no procreation.
Simplified trend analysis of course, though anyone with basic math skills will come to the same conclusion. Assuming each generation to point of successful mating & procreation at 30 years, it can rudimentarily be calculated that in about 90 years, there are no more mating opportunities within that cohort of humans.
Unfortunately for humanity, this trend cannot and will not be reversed due entirely to the actions and policies of those that rule this planet. It will continue in its current trajectory until it is far too late to reverse the decline. There is not a single country in the western world for example, including most of Asia, where procreation is sufficient to maintain current populations. They are ALL in stages of decline at varying rates. Some catastrophically so in the case of South Korea, Japan or Singapore, with some less so though still irreversible as is the case with all of Europe and North / South America.
Even the continent of Africa and the Asian subcontinent are experiencing dramatic reductions in procreative capacities or results.
Last one here, turn out the lights. You did it to yourself by ignoring or altering biology and nature.

Thank you Dr Northrup …I’ve followed your work and wisdom over many years 🙏❤️

An Interesting way to change the psyche of generations of women without them knowing it!
All gynecologists should know this information, but sadly they don’t .

You are one lucky human. I've never met a doctor so wise. Blessings!

Condoms - far less side effects.

You are amazing Mr/Mrs/Ms Unbekoming. When I remember back to my fertile years and all the experimental procedures I was subjected to, I salute you.
This essay must enter the school system at the senior elementary level.
I have a granddaughter I can now better protect from incursions on her fertility.
At this stage of the game, human fertility is the first bastion needing protection.
I'm constantly amazed at the level of destruction that's been wreaked on us.
Thank you!

"Additionally, some research suggests long-term pill use might affect fertility even after discontinuation, though this remains controversial."
do you have references for this?
