Question
Hello, I am 24 and very healthy, but I have beem on ortho tri cyclen lo for about 7 years now and am ready to come off. I do everything as naturally and holsitically as possible so this is the last step! I was wondering if there is anything I can do to make the transition easier. maybe take wild yam for a few weeks before quitting? or estrotone (by new chapter)? I am currently on a mild liver cleanse and my last 2 months i have had unusual spotting and also get headaches frequently. Other than that I am in good shape. What do you suggest? Thanks!

Answer
Dear Nicole,
Wild yam may be all right, but I would lean more toward red raspberry leaves, I think.  It's a supplement used to address all female issues.
If you are basically healthy, you should be able to notice pretty quickly, any differences or symptoms that could be potential issues as you head toward natural and holistic health.  I believe health to be based first in our spirit, then outward to our body.  Below, I'll include my webpage, for your reference as you continue in this transition.
Kind Regards,
