Happy Birthday Oral contraceptive pills!
« on: May 10, 2010, 02:49:54 PM »
she turns 50!

The combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP), often referred to as the birth-control pill or simply "the pill", is a birth control method that includes a combination of an estrogen  (oestrogen) and a progestin  (progestogen). When taken by mouth every day, these pills inhibit female fertility. They were first approved for contraceptive use in the United States in 1960, and are a very popular form of birth control. They are currently used by more than 100 million women worldwide and by almost 12 million women in the United States. Usage varies widely by country,  age, education, and marital status: one quarter of women aged 16–49 in Great Britain currently use the pill (combined pill or progestogen only pill or "minipill"),  compared to only 1% of women in Japan.Wikipedia

There is no proven scientific connection to what I'm about to say...but if you have daughters, nieces, sisters etc, please do warn them to find alternative means of birth control before taking the pill.

I will be turning 27 shortly and I have used the pill for birth control in the early stages of my marriage. It was only a relatively short time but when we decided to have children, I found out that I had PCOS and that I now cannot complete a cycle without medication.

My cycles were quite regular as a teenager, so was my metabolism. But after I had started messing up my body with hormones, it went haywire. Sure it had some cons, vanity wise, but I would rather have children after being married for 6 years now.

I have a sneaking suspicion the pill had something to do with it but I can't find any literature to say otherwise. I just know I was a regular 31 day cycle girl and now I have to take a cocktail of meds for me to induce a full cycle.

My daughter used the pills at the age of 23 upon meeting her first boyfriend. At first she gained 15 kilos, I told her to change the pills, she did and she got lung emphysema. She was 4 days in intensive care unit because of this blood clot in her lungs and the doctors found out the there are some DNA mutations that caused viscosity in her blood. I don´t have any medical experience or background but this I would like to share to you.

Manay thank you for sharing that. I hope others will heed that warning too.  I am off the pill now, but everyday, I have to take metformin to neutralize my blood sugar and 3 organic supplements. I also opted to try acupuncture instead of round after round hormone therapy from the doctor. Sometimes, I feel like the "treatment" is making me worse instead of better. I gained 30 lbs in a month when I first found out I had PCOS.  They said, to control it was to go back to the pill.... I have my doubts.  I would love to have children more than any thing in the world but I wish my husband and I chose a different method early on so now we wouldn't be facing the choice of having in-vitro to get pregnant.

Thank you for sharing your personal inputs, manay and Alc.

Perhaps we can have a lecture on the MOA (mechanisms of actions) and SE (Side Effects) of oral contraceptives.

:)
