[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the controversy. This study is one of many and we will need more info, but this is a .4% increase risk? Pregnancy greatly increases the risk of several health conditions and most of us happily took that because of the benefit risk trade-off.  When I was on birth control pills in my early 20s I knew there was a slight increased risk of breast cancer but again millions of women accept that because of the benefit risk of an unwanted pregnancy.

This 1000%!!!!

Most of us make way more decisions in life that increase our risk of cancer/breast cancer because we have weight the risks/options.  Taking hormonal BC for 10+ years (like many women do) has far greater risk than being on HRT.  yet many choose to take the hormonal BC (because of the benefits---nobody wants to get pregnant unless planned). Most of us enjoy a cocktail or wine a few days a week, most of us are not going to give those up because of the health risks, we are aware and live our life
