Summary
This week we ask everything you have wanted to know about what is going on in our wombs. With women's health expert Dr Tina Peers, we ask everything from whether the coil hurts, what on earth is in the pill, and whether or not any of them are messing with our bodies. Estée answers all of your questions with the help of Dr Tina, and helps us ask those questions you are too scared to ask your Doctor.

| 0:00.0 | And we're back with another episode of On the Line. I'm your host, Estée Lalonde, and today we're going to be talking a little more seriously than we have in our past episodes. Today we're going to be discussing all things birth control. I am always just very confused about birth control. There are so many |
| 0:23.0 | different types. They all work in different ways. How do you know which one is best for you? I'll be |
| 0:28.3 | interviewing Dr. Tina Pierce. She is an actual doctor who is going to tell me some real things |
| 0:34.0 | about birth control and get ready to listen to me just discover a lot of things about birth control. |
| 0:41.4 | Hello? |
| 0:42.9 | But before we start, let's take a quick break. |
| 0:49.0 | Hello, listeners, and welcome back to On the Line with me, Estée Lalonde. Today we are talking all about |
| 0:56.2 | contraception, the pill, and just general vagina stuff with Dr. Tina Pierce. First of all, can you just |
| 1:03.7 | tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into the industry that you're in? |
| 1:08.2 | Okay, well, thank you very much for inviting me. It's a real pleasure to be here. |

| 1:31.3 | And during that time I concentrated more and more on women's health. |
| 1:36.3 | And then when my youngest daughter was one, she, and she's now 25, I decided that I would just concentrate on contraception and reproductive |
| 1:46.7 | health. And then in 1996, I became a consultant in that area. And then I was the head |
| 1:54.9 | clinician for contraception in Surrey for 24 years, which was fantastic. And we built a fantastic team of people |
| 2:02.5 | together. And we brought down the teenage pregnancy rate year on year, which was amazing. And I'm, |
| 2:08.7 | more recently, I'm a menopause specialist, and I work at the Chelsea Westminster Hospital |
| 2:12.5 | once a fortnight, doing a big menopause clinic there, where we also see women who have premature |
| 2:18.3 | ovarian insufficiency and therefore have gone through premature menopause. |
| 2:23.3 | And that can happen even in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. |
