Wow....do I miss the pill. Being firmly on the other side of menopause I miss how it regulated my moods.
But, I read a fascinating article a few years back about how good BCP are for you. Why? Mainly becuase women used to not have so many damn periods. They got pregnant younger and more often, they breastfeed longer and they hit menopause earlier. I used to have my period only 3-4 times year which according to this article was very good for you and for perserving your fertility. Given that I got naturally pregant after 40 - maybe? Besides that - it has been shown to dramatically decrease the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer which are much more serious then breast cancer. Yes, it increases the risk for breast cancer in certain women. Especially smokers. I'll close out with Loretta Lynn. |
