Episode 4: ‘Contraception Doesn't Only Mean Condoms'
In this episode of the After Hours Clinic, Natasha makes us feel more comfortable discussing contraception and birth control. Barrier methods are not the only form of contraception! We discuss the female condom, hormonal implants, IUDs, the pill, surgical procedures and the infamous morning after pill. I also share my own birth control journey and MUCH more!
