I went on birth control for the first time when I was 22 years old and tried five times after that. This is my story about why I'll never go on it again. ​

Hi Abby!

I found your channel on YouTube and love all of your videos! I really appreciate your straightforward and honest approach to young women’s lives today. I have found very few women who seem like they are willing to be honest about what most women want out of life, things like marriage, family and possibly career.

I just graduated from college and am applying to medical school, mostly because I feel that is what I am supposed to do in order to fit in the standard mold of success these days. But, if I’m being honest medicine is not something I am passionate about. I didn’t really relate to a lot of the pre-med students I met throughout college who cared only about being a doctor and looked at me like I was crazy when I asked them what they thought it would be like to try to have a family while being a doctor. The usual response I got to questions that I asked advisors and professors about achieving a work- family balance in medicine was that I was young and shouldn’t worry about it. This response really confused me because most of the professors I was asking about achieving career/ family balance all had their own families, yet they acted like it all just came together seamlessly and they never gave it much thought. My questions being brushed aside also confused me because having a family/marriage is something I aspire to, and I thought college was a place that was supposed to help you achieve your aspirations. But, for some reason all education and guidance about having a family, especially for young women, seems to have been completely left out of higher education for reasons that are not obvious to me.

I was wondering, how did you come to the conclusions about marriage, career and family that you have? Were you mostly influenced by your family and religion? Or was it through your own research and self-education?

Thanks and love what you’re doing!
