Why Give Your Body Time to Clear Out Synthetic Hormones?
If you've been on hormonal birth control, it's important to allow your body at least six months to eliminate the synthetic hormones. These hormones can linger in your system and may interfere with fetal development and the duration of gestation. As a Naturopath specializing in fertility health, I've seen the importance of preparing your body for a healthy pregnancy.
Nutrient Depletion from Hormonal Birth Control
Hormonal birth control can deplete your body of vital nutrients necessary for a healthy pregnancy. These include Vitamins B2, B6, B12, Folate, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, and Vitamins C and E. These nutrients are crucial in preventing birth defects, such as neural tube defects like Spina Bifida.
Potential Risks of Synthetic Hormones
Research has indicated that synthetic hormones can impact both mother and fetus. There is a positive association between oral contraceptives and preterm birth, which can lead to developmental disabilities in babies and affect the mother's emotional well-being.
Reducing Environmental Toxins
To boost your chances of a healthy pregnancy, be mindful of chemicals and toxins in your environment. For example, BPA (Bisphenol-A), an endocrine disruptor, is linked to various health issues. Being aware of these factors can help you prepare for a safe and healthy pregnancy.
