[quote=Anonymous]I’m a bleeding heart liberal who thinks BC is critical for so many people for so many reasons.

But I’m also a highly educated woman who has researched many medical issues for a variety of reasons.

Personally, I have never used the pill.

Why?

I’m a stroke risk given my severe migraines.

I know a young woman who was pressured into going on the pill following delivery. Long story short: stroke! She died. She was a migraine sufferer who never should have been on the pill.

I’m perimenopause and I won’t use HRT. I didn’t use the pill when I had crime scene level bleeding (had a hysterectomy instead). Breast cancer in my family tree makes me hyper aware of risks.

I don’t think anyone is trying to mount a senseless PR campaign against the pill…particularly on dcum. But many of us have done our homework. You should do yours and then make an informed choice. Don’t rely exclusively on doctors who might not connect the dots.

Chemically altering your body isn’t always the best choice. [/quote]
