Helping thousands of folks find the right birth control

BCDB is a nonprofit making birth control easy to understand. We took all the birth control information we could find and simplified it to what you see here.

ORIGIN STORY

Growing up in Ohio,

I suffered horrible side effects from my period. I begged to go on birth control to alleviate the pain, only to be told I'd feel empowered to have sex (which is a conversation in itself).

It was only when I was sobbing on the toilet totally naked, vomiting in the trash can (what a sight, huh?) that my mom agreed to take me to a doctor.

My agony finally convinced her BC was for more than preventing babies. 13 years of menstruating later, I'm ready to change the narrative.

Let's get informed.
