I grew up in an environment where being reserved/ religious and conentrating on education was the epitome of human existence. With zero access to information and only condemnation for the "outside world" I forged into adulthood, needless to say this approach landed me in various regretable situations. This left me with so many questions about what I knew life to be, I needed answers. Today I thank God for the internet and thank him even more for people like you lynn, you are doing an amazing Job at putting out information, educating and shaping society.I have been following your shows religiously and this topic covered a part of my journey to self discovery and autonomy. Much love ❤

Honestly, if you can abstain it’s the best thing for your health. I’m 31, and still waiting to have sex when I’m married. It’s tough journey to wait. But it’s a very beautiful thing. I want to encourage all young girls to wait and understand your body. When I was 21, my doctor wanted me to start taking birth control pills because I had very inconsistent periods. He was worried that I had PCOS. My mom advised me against it. And this was a doctor overseas (not Kenyan). I also had very painful periods. It’s taken years for me to figure out my body and know how it works. My periods are now consistent and before I would even go 3 months without it. I’ve never taken any birth control meds. I’ve had ultra sounds and there nothing wrong with me. So at 21, I was super young and my body was just changing at its own pace. I normally take pain meds a few days before and also during my periods to relieve the period pain. I specifically take - Naproxen. And I take 1 per day for about 3 days. I’m not sure if it’s available in Kenya. I also exercise and watch what I eat. And use a heating pad on my worst day. But I would strongly advice young girls to just abstain. Having sex at a young age has so many consequences, just wait and enjoy sex in your marriage. Also, these contraceptives medications. I don’t care if it’s a highly recommended doctor, they come with a lot of side effects. If you can, just wait.

When it comes to creating a problem medically and reversing it medically, it becomes a bit complicated. It's good to have full information. Quite informative.

Lynn, this is so informative. Am in the Bahamas, age 56 and am learning so much. Thanks Doctor, wish all doctors were explaining things in detail like ure doing. God bless you both.

Av been postponing to watch this episode until I get a perfect time to sit down with a paper and a pen to listen very carefully. As a young mum am very grateful for this information Lynn and Doc K. Many of my questions and worries have been answered by this video.

[fionaawuor]

I have loved this informative conversation with Dr. K. Still on DEPO, I was in a kanjo facility on 9th Dec and I inquired on depo after listening to W's story. The family planning professional, he's abit aged, he told me depo is not advised to be used on women who have never conceived, that it has adverse effects. Also that its mostly used on women who have had enough children or do not want children. Lynn please help me ask Doc to shade more light on that

[lonamaya]

Am 32 now but I thank my parents for teaching me about sex and contraceptive early in my life at the age of six I was already familiar with my body and sex my mum and dad thanks alot for giving us freedom and confidence to talk to you whenever we ask anything and thanks Doc and Lyn also for teaching people all these ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[abbychepkosgei]

[DianaMumbua-vz]

[Grace-W]
