Who you gonna call? Mythbusters!

This season on Hormonal we've learned a lot about birth control. From the origin of the pill, to how side effects can be beneficial, to the history and future of Reproductive Justice. But that doesn't mean that there isn't more to learn, especially when it comes to those pesky myths that just never seem to completely disappear.

This week on the Hormonal podcast, we are assembling a super squad of science-backed Mythbusters. They're ready to tackle questions from real users like you.

On the mythbusting squad we're welcoming back Dr. Lynae Brayboy, Clue's Chief Medical Officer–and also joining us is Amanda Shea, Clue's Head of Science, and Dr. Hajnalka Hejja, Clue's Science Lead for Product.

"It feels like it's constantly being reinforced that we should have an exactly 28-day cycle that comes at the exact day we expect, month after month after month. And then it's completely not true."
