In her short, candid video, Argy shared, "I think this is probably not the best time to go cold turkey on my birth control, but I have in fact not taken it since last week. So if you guys see me emerging with a whole new personality next week, don't worry, I'm just ovulating for the first time in 8 years."

Argy’s light-hearted announcement apparently resonated deeply with her audience because droves of women shared their own positive stories of ditching the pill for a more holistic approach to their health and citing benefits like improved mental health and emotional well-being, as well as other benefits like clearer skin and a stronger sex drive.

"Girl, this is gonna be good for you, you will feel like you!" wrote one woman.

"No, because once you stop, you're never going back, the sky will be bluer than blue, the birds will sing, the world will make sense," wrote another, earning over 5,000 likes.

This outpouring of support and shared experiences underscores the growing awareness and concern about the mental health impacts of hormonal contraceptives.

However, the mainstream media has not been as receptive. Outlets like NBC have labeled women who discuss the potential dangers of hormonal birth control as “alarmists," while The Washington Post has run multiple hit pieces on women who are sharing their negative experiences with birth control.

The collective silencing or labeling of these women has raised serious questions about their agendas. Is it to truly help women make the best choices for their health, or is it to save face for those who have aggressively pushed hormonal birth control for decades despite the well-documented risks?

Evie has faced significant backlash many times for sharing accurate information on hormonal birth control over the years. Our founder, Brittany Martinez, recently responded to The Washington Post and directly addressed the deceptive media tactics used to discredit and silence women’s health concerns. Martinez also highlighted the irony of being labeled as spreading misinformation when the issues with hormonal birth control have been extensively documented and acknowledged even by the manufacturers.

In light of these challenges, many women are seeking alternatives to hormonal birth control and ways to support their bodies during the transition. One such product is Toxic Breakup, a natural detox designed to help women cleanse their systems from the residual effects of hormonal contraceptives. This product, available from 28, aims to support hormonal balance and overall well-being during and after the transition off birth control.

As women increasingly turn to social media for support and information, the narrative is slowly shifting. Argy’s announcement and the overwhelmingly positive response means there's a growing movement towards reevaluating hormonal birth control’s role in women’s health.

Despite mainstream media attempts to stifle this conversation, platforms like Evie remain dedicated to empowering women with the truth, fostering informed decisions, and promoting open dialogue about all aspects of women’s health.
