PAIN MANAGEMENT We knock down the "tough it out" mentality that we've been taught We discuss how birth control can be used a pain management strategy We reference CBD suppositories as another pain management tool, like the brand https://www.foriawellness.com/ (Foria Wellness) We discuss TENS devices and how they can be used as a therapeutic tool. Corinne talks about her experience with https://mylivia.com/ (Livia). Acupuncture as a pain management strategy We also discuss when pain is normal and not normal, and when to see a doctor about your pain.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS Corinne and Natalie answer some lingering questions that they still have about periods, like: What are periods poops? What is the bleeding you experience while you're on the pill? What are clotting disorders? What is cycle synching? How do you get blood out of anything?
