Every woman I know has a story about contraception - and none of them are good. In fact, some of them describe the worst mental and physical health issues they've experienced, from incessant bleeding and severe acne to manic episodes and suicidal ideation.
When a new report from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) revealed that one in seven women in the UK are unhappy with the side effects of their current contraception, I wasn't remotely surprised.
The only thing that shocks me is that the figure wasn't higher. Women's reproductive health has never been taken seriously, which is reflected in the ongoing struggles many face with contraception.
