Some women are reportedly even stopping their birth control as a result of misleading posts they’ve seen on TikTok and Instagram.

Key Points: 
  • Some women are reportedly even stopping their birth control as a result of misleading posts they’ve seen on TikTok and Instagram.
  • These three common misconceptions about birth control are cropping up online and need to be put in context:

1. Contraception causes depression

  • Countless videos on social media discuss the effect hormonal contraceptives have on mental health – with some creators claiming birth control causes mood changes and even depression.
  • Although there’s some correlation between mental health and some forms of contraception, there are many factors at play.
  • The articles in this series explore the questions and bring answers as we navigate this turbulent period of life.
  • The evidence suggests depression is more common in adolescent girls – and diminishes after the first two years of taking these forms of birth control.
  • At present, there’s little conclusive evidence that contraception (both hormonal and non-hormonal types) cause mental health problems.

2. Contraception causes weight gain

  • Another common social media claim is that birth control causes weight gain.
  • There is one form of contraception that is linked to weight gain.
  • The Depo-Provera injection, which is administered every 12 weeks, has been proved to cause weight gain.


This weight gain may be due to the progesterone in the shot, which can cause people to feel hungrier – potentially leading to overeating and weight gain. If you’re concerned about potential weight gain, the injection is not the only form of contraception available. Other forms of hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives have not been shown to affect your weight.

3. Birth control lowers your fertility

  • Another common claim on social media is that birth control causes fertility issues.
  • Research shows hormonal contraceptives have no affect on fertility.
  • Again, evidence shows that IUDs pose no risk to fertility.
  • A systematic review reports no specific differences in fertility between hormonal and non-hormonal IUDs.

People who have migraines experience severe throbbing or pulsating pain, typically on one side of the head.

Key Points: 
  • People who have migraines experience severe throbbing or pulsating pain, typically on one side of the head.
  • More than three times as many women as compared to men get migraines.
  • Women are more likely than men to seek medical care and prescription drugs for migraines.
  • As a board-certified neurologist who specializes in headache medicine, I find the gender differences in migraines to be fascinating.

Migraines and hormones

    • That’s due to the fluctuating levels of sex hormones, primarily estrogen, associated with puberty – although other hormones, including progesterone, may be involved too.
    • Researchers estimate about 50% to 60% of women with migraines experience menstrual migraines.
    • These migraines typically occur in the days leading up to menstruation or during menstruation itself, when the drop in estrogen levels can trigger migraines.
    • Menstrual migraines can be more severe and last longer than migraines at other times of the month.

Migraine with aura

    • But women who have migraine with aura, which is a distinct type of migraine, should generally avoid using estrogen containing hormonal contraceptives.
    • Typically, prior to the migraine, the person most commonly begins to see dark spots and zigzag lines.
    • That said, it may be difficult and dangerous for a nonmedical person to try to discern the difference between the two conditions, particularly in the midst of an attack, and determine whether it’s migraine with aura or a stroke.

Migraines during pregnancy, menopause

    • The good news is that migraines generally tend to lessen in severity and frequency throughout pregnancy.
    • But as menopause progresses, migraines generally decline.
    • In the meantime, there are treatments that can help lessen both the frequency and severity of migraines throughout menopause, including hormone replacement therapy.

Men’s migraines

    • The frequency and severity of migraines slightly increase for men in their early 20s.
    • Medical researchers still have more to learn about why women and men get migraines.
