Hormonal Contraceptive & Fertility: The Good the Bad and the Truth

Hormonal Contraceptive & Fertility: The Good the Bad and the Truth

Contraception, Fertility, and Your Hormones: A Deep Dive

In this episode of the Happy Hormone Hour podcast, host Evelyn Kennedy, a nutritionist and women's health specialist, offers an evidence-based discussion on hormonal contraception and its impact on fertility and overall health. She discusses how contraceptives such as the pill, implant, patch, and injection suppress ovulation and influence hormone levels. The episode also covers misconceptions about contraceptives causing infertility, noting that they delay the return of ovulation rather than causing permanent damage. Evelyn emphasises the importance of nutrition and lifestyle changes in managing post-contraceptive symptoms and preparing the body for conception. She recommends tracking cervical mucus and basal body temperature over relying on fertility apps. The episode concludes with insights on nutrient supplementation and restoring natural hormonal rhythms post-contraception.
