Did your doctor give you the birth control pill for your perimenopause symptoms and you have some doubts if this is the right approach? Are you wondering what you, or your daughter, really need to know before saying yes to the pill or an IUD?
We cover:
Why doctors still reach for the birth control pill in your 40s instead of menopause therapy
What's actually inside birth control versus menopause hormone therapy
The 10 year rule we were warned about decades ago, where it came from and whether it still holds true
The sneaky side effect of the pill that can tank this very important hormone
What our daughters need to know before choosing the pill or an IUD
