"The WNBA has teamed up with Opill, the first daily oral contraceptive available over the counter in the United States, and the nonprofit organization Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) for a new initiative designed to build health equity for Black women by providing resources to educate them about their reproductive health options."

Didn’t feel like dealing with finding a new gyno (although I guess I could have just gone to Planned Parenthood), so I decided to try the new over the counter birth control, Opill. Have been on it for a month now, here’s my feedback so far:
-No noticeable side effects
-Really clear instructions on when to take the meds, when to use a second method of contraception, and how soon it starts working
