Birth control has been a taboo subject for most of our lives, as our parents didn't really wanna "go there" or we just felt the need to hide it as young adults. With our peers, that conversation was mostly just about being "on it" or not. Very little conversation went into the hormonal, mental, and physical side effects we faced and all the important details. It was just a club to be a part of and that was enough.
