 Hello there Lavaz and friends today. We are going to draw about get it not talk about gonna draw Okay, I get it. We're gonna draw about oral contraceptives also known as the pill now Almost all of us know about it some of us have used it before but very few of us know how it actually works And I think it's kind of important to understand so a you know if you should consider using it be why it's important To use it correctly and see because I don't know what's your body. You should know what the fuck is going on down there Okay, so let's get started pills usually come in two different kinds of packs 28 or 21 day cycles now They are the same except the 21 has seven sugar or placebo pills that don't do anything But they keep you in the habit of taking the pill every single day the exact same time Which is muy importante and here is why the body has two Puppeting systems that tell it what to do and when to do it. There's a nervous system and the endocrine system That's today. We're gonna focus only on the endocrine, which is the hormonal control center It is a place that makes periods possible Now around once a month levels of estrogen and progesterone rays, which tell the body to do a few things number one it says hey build up the lining of the uterus and prepare it for Fertilization and make it easier for the egg to implant number two it says to the body Hey make that mucus, you know around the cervix make it less dense that way sperm can swim through Successfully and number three and of course most importantly it sends a signal to the ovaries to release its best Most shiniest egg into the fallopian tubes in hopes of being fertilized It's now birth control changes the game by keeping a steady flow of estrogen and progestin a man-made form of Progesterone so the body doesn't feel the need to make more. Yes The body works on supply and demand when there's a steady level of estrogen and progestin in the body Three things don't happen. Number one Ovulation does not occur in essence the body almost thinks it's pregnant and doesn't need to release eggs anymore Number two the uterine lining doesn't thicken as much now This is a fun fact to know because this is why the pill can also be used to treat those who suffer from super heavy Super long and hella painful periods and number three the mucus around the cervix stays nice and thick making it too difficult for sperm Even to enter the vicinity. Okay, so now that you guys understand those basics I hope you can see why it is so important to take the pill every single day and preferably at the exact same time Because the body is supply and demand once the supply gets a little low The body says oh shoot We're missing that one thing and it starts to create the orders the endocrine system to start producing estrogen and Progesterone making it much more possible for pregnancy to occur So that is how the pill works and when taken perfectly it is 99% affected in preventing pregnancy With that being said though, of course, there are side effects and risks with taking the pill So you have to consult your doctor to see what type of birth control is safest and most cooperative with you Do you have a question about sex or the reproductive cycle that I can answer by drawing it? Let me know in the comment section below and I will get to it on the next whiteboard session That's all she wrote. That's all she draw. Goodbye Thank you guys for watching that video.
