A few people have sent me links to this article asking me to comment on it because I did a sponsored video with the app last year. The article is titled “‘I felt colossally naive’: the backlash against the birth control app”.

Now that I’ve had another surgery I probably shouldn’t beat myself up as much about being unproductive. I’m back in recovery again, I’m allowed to have lie ins and play video games all day.
