What's going on with birth control? A LIORA expert conversation with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany
There’s a LOT being said about birth control right now.
From side effects and hormones to why it’s prescribed for conditions beyond pregnancy prevention, it can be hard to know what to make of everything you’re hearing.
With so much conflicting information out there, we wanted to create space to ask better questions and hear directly from trusted experts. Enter: “Can I Ask You Something...” A LIORA Expert Series.
For our inaugural session, we’ll be joined by board-certified OBGYN Dr. Shieva Ghofrany for a candid, evidence-informed conversation about birth control. We'll cover:
What hormones are and how they fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle
Why birth control is prescribed and the differences between common methods
What research tells us, what remains uncertain, and some of the biggest questions circulating on social media right now (like... is it making us infertile?!).
We’ll start with a guided conversation, then open it up for an extended Q&A. You can submit questions in advance when you register or ask them live during the event.
This event is free, with space limited to keep the conversation intimate and interactive.
