Podcast episode in which host Liene speaks with photographers Trix Eden Breuls and Nouchka De Maeyer about stopping hormonal contraception. Both began the pill for non-contraceptive reasons (acne, irregular/painful periods). Trix took combined oral contraceptives for about ten years (started at ~14, stopped ~2 years ago) and reports mostly positive outcomes after stopping (increased mood, sex drive, but recurring acne; used a basal thermometer app called Daisy and waited ~1 year for cycle regularity). Nouchka took hormonal contraception for about 16 years (started mid-teens until age 31), stopped to try for pregnancy and after also tapering antidepressants; she experienced immediate return of cycles but then severe physical and mental symptoms (anxiety, panic attacks, pain, PMS/luteal-phase worsening) consistent with what she describes as Post Birth Control Syndrome and sought multiple therapies and ultimately resumed psychiatric care and EMDR. Guests advise giving the body time, seeking support if needed, and that experiences vary widely.
