Try searching "birth control options" in Google. Feel free to get fancy: "birth control for me," "birth control pill brands." We'll wait. ... Okay, what did ya find? Sites for expensive hormone tests, pharmaceutical companies pushing their brands, or vague blog posts ("Try an IUD instead of the pill!"). It's time uterus-having people get the information they're seeking to make informed decisions about their healthcare. Enter BCDB: a totally free, easy to use AND understand birth control database. It's a research-driven tool helping people sort through hundreds of birth control options. With doctors keeping only a select few brands top of mind - normally brands that have given them monetary compensation - the birth control database (BCDB) is inclusive of all (well... a lot of) available options. It gives people the contraceptive knowledge needed to confidently start a conversation with their doctor.

@sumugz1 Oh no! Thanks for the heads up! I haven't gotten any other reports, so extra info would be helpful. There is known bug where accessing the site via in-app internet browsing causes an issue with the iFrame. If Chartmat asks for your email, you've likely encountered this bug, as no email is required to view the database. If this is the issue, I'd recommend going directly to "birthcontrol.best" in your browser. If not, could you please send an email with screenshots of the faulty experience to info@birthcontrol.best ?
