The birth control pill and your relationships

Here’s the scenario:

Girl meets boy.

Girl is already on the pill and stays on it.

Girl and boy continue dating and get serious.

Girl and boy get married.

Girl gets off pill when they want to start a family.

Girl has a quarter life crisis as she starts to find conflict in her relationship now that she is off the pill.

What happened?

Of course this is an extreme example, and we’re not suggesting that it’s the only option that could happen, but the point is that your hormones do play a factor in your relationships.

If you remember from earlier studies we shared, when given a sampling of sweaty mens t-shirts to choose from, it was proven that women on the pill were drawn to partners whose pheromones do not genetically compliment their own. On the other hand, women who were not on the pill chose partners with genetic compatibility. This suggests that being on the pill can have an effect on the kind of partner you are attracted to, and would explain why the Girl above ended up in her quarter life crisis.

Among other side effects of the pill could be low libido or depression, which can obviously have an effect on your relationships, too.

If you’re on the pill and sensing that something is off in the love department - perhaps you’re not quite feelin’ the one you’re in, or having trouble finding the right partner - it could be a great time to experiment with getting off the pill. Rather than quit cold turkey, taking part in the WomanCode System will prep your body for the transition off and help your hormones adjust to their natural cycle.As we gear up for the month of February, here at FLO we want to do everything possible to ensure it’s as love-filled as possible. And we know that happy hormones = a happy love life.Click here for more guidance on love, relationships, and hormones in my webinar, where I address:

  • The ideal time of day for you to have the most mind blowing orgasm with your partner
  • What to feed your man so his moods and libido are ideal for you

Always remember, that once you have the right information about how your body really works, you can start making health choices that finally start to work for you! You can do this - the science of your body is on your side!to your FLO,AlisaNeed more Hormone Help?If you’re needing some health upgrading, it’s time you started you looking into what’s going on with your hormones.I’ve designed a 4 day hormone detox and evaluation to help you understand exactly what’s out of whack and how you can start getting back to balance so that your hormones no longer have to suffer.Click here to get your FREE detox and evaluation!
