But it seems I may have thought wrong. According to this article, long term BC pills do not impact with fertility.

But they can impact your libido, in such a way as to make them redundant.

I guess I've been lucky because I've never had BCP affect my libido, and I've been on them fairly steadily for the past 22 years.

Your second sentence does not follow from the first, and neither does the rest. That's the real fear-mongering.

- Infectious disease as a whole (including HIV/AIDS, lung infections, tuberculosis, diarrhoeal diseases and malaria) is the main cause of death in third world countries. 1.
- Life expectancy averages 15 years less than in the most developed countries. 2
- Half of all the cancers diagnosed in the US aren't even diagnosed until after the age when most peopld in third world countries have already died (most often, from infections). They don't live long enough to develop half the cancers we see. 3
- Plus, most people in developing countries don't have access to medical screening for cancer. Even so, the majority of the world's cancer cases are now in developing countries. 4

The majority of cancer cases — 57 percent — now occur in low- and middle-income countries. And 65 percent of cancer deaths worldwide occur in these countries, according to an analysis by the American Cancer Society.

I would not. I ended up going on the pill because I had debilitating cramps, so I'm not opposed to it on principle or anything, but I think it's useful to have information about what your natural cycles are like. Going on the pill right away, before there is any need for it as contraception and any indication of other medical need, means that you might not find out that there is some other issue.

Also, don't project your issues with your period onto your daughter. Let her figure out how she feels about menstruation. Maybe it will be easy for her, and she won't have any real problems, and the pill would be totally unnecessary.

The underlined above is flat out wrong. The rest isn't tied to it whether right or wrong, because the first part is just flat out wrong.

Garbage in, garbage out.

That is, more periods aren't linked to cancer because the moon is made of green cheese, and fewer periods aren't linked to cancer because the moon is made of green cheese.

The moon isn't made of green cheese.

Glamour...of all things...did a great article about how often we should be having periods. Due to the fact that people breastfed for much longer, had many more pregnancies - especially ones that didn't end well plus increase child mortality - that people used to not have nearly so many periods. Therefore, it was beneficial for your health NOT to have so many. When I was still in that stage of life - I had 3 or 4 a year.

Use of the pill has been shown to decrease the chances of uterine, ovarian and other types of cancer. The only one it increases is breast if you smoke or have other high risk factors.

Well, seeing that our bodies were actually made to have periods every 28 days your statement is completely wrong.

So how did your labour and delivery without analgesic or assistance go for you? Because women were meant to best children, too.

I think that is an incorrect perspective.

It is better for your body to have babies and breastfeed. A woman's body/reproductive is made by nature to get pregnant and nurse. a consequence of having babies and nursing is fewer periods, but the benefit to the body is from using it the way nature intended (birthing and nursing)

Not having periods due to unnatural chemical birth control is not the same and does not have the same benefits. In fact, chemical birth control harms the natural cycles of the body.

2 natural births and one with an epidural.

The natural births were a much faster recovery than the one with an epidural.
