We’re curious about a variety of topics at Caviar Feeling, but after the CF staff had a — long lunch conversation  — about women’s health, we quickly realised that birth control and contraception pills were such a bigger topic. In addition to giving women the liberty to fully enjoy sex without worries, the pill can help some women to reduce cramps, regulate cycles and even clear acne. After some debate, we pared our list of questions that could help us navigate from the contraception pill to the morning after pill delivery, including online prescriptions and making women’s lives simpler. 

The challenge here is getting the right treatment that works for you as this is not as simple as it sounds. There’s some organisation between going to your private practitioner, getting the prescription and finally each month going to buy it to the pharmacy… and let’s be honest, we are currently living in such a fast environment where adding one extra step to our current 100 things-to-do could be a real pain on the ass. Nowadays, as busy women, we want hassle-free birth control and if this can be safe and delivered to your door is a bonus point for me. 

Brands like Youly, are helping to revolutionise the accessibility of the pill to all women so that you can get a quality birth control pills prescribed by a real doctor from the comfort of your home. The best part? Youly’s doctors provide the highest standard of healthcare, which means each patient is assessed on an individual basis.

Contraceptive Pill

What is Youly?

Youly wants to empower women with fast, convenient and discreet access to treatments and prescriptions through innovative online solutions. The brand focuses on sexual health (HSV treatments) and fertility. They were wondered why nowadays it is so difficult to gain access to something as common as the contraceptive pill, herpes simplex virus, or even a morning-after pill

The health platform is designed to eliminate the time-consuming, awkward or confronting conversations that women must have to gain access to the treatments or prescriptions they need —one of the reasons why they also created Australia’s first morning after pill delivery service

Stories about women missing the morning after pill is something pretty common to hear. Let’s be honest, it can be a bit embarrassing to go and buy it, so the brand just wanted to make our life easier and make the morning after pill delivery service one of their key missions.

How effective is the pill?

According to the brand website, the standard contraceptive pill is effective 99.7% of the time. This means less than 1 in 100 women will get pregnant when using the pill correctly.

But correctly is the keyword here. This success rate drops slightly when accounting for human error (e.g. if you occasionally forget to take your pill or miss a day before picking up your next prescription).

Benefits of taking The Birth Control Pill

  • Acne control: The birth control pill has its ability to slow down the body’s production of sebum (the naturally occurring oil that causes pimples), and voilá; there’s your acne control plan, right there!
  • Relieve symptoms of PMS: When birth control pills are regularly taken, the risk of heavy bleeding is decreased. A lighter period means fewer cramps and hormonal fluctuations (see-ya mood swings).
  • Period manipulation: Sometimes, we would like to skip our period, right? The birth control pill is a great way to manipulate your cycle to align it with your social calendar safely. 
  • Reduce the risk of anaemia: Heavy menstrual bleeding can increase a person’s risk of anaemia. Why? When we lose a lot of blood, there’s no way to put it back; however, if there aren’t enough red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body, you might experiment weakness and fatigue. Taking birth control pills may help with heavy bleeding.
