Quite interesting — no wonder birth rates are down in France.
**multiple international studies have documented elevated levels of natural and synthetic hormones in drinking water, and one such study conducted in France noted that progestins in particular were more resistant to removal by water treatment methods, compared with other types of pharmaceuticals (3).**

Certainly.
Oh, that's good.
I need to remember that the next time someone rants at me about how they only buy free range this-or-that....
"Eeew, hormones!" (don't forget to take your pill dear:)
“sexual suicide” bump
“just under 16% of partnered women use contraceptive pills” does not seem right,
Virtually all women (more than 99%) aged 1544 who have ever had sexual intercourse have used at least one contraceptive method.[2]
Overall, 62% of the 62 million women aged 1544 are currently using a method.[2]
Almost one-third (31%) of these 62 million women do not need a method because they are infertile; are pregnant, postpartum or trying to become pregnant; have never had intercourse; or are not sexually active.[2]
Thus, only 7% of women aged 1544 are at risk for unintended pregnancy but are not using contraceptives.[2]
Among the 43 million fertile, sexually active women who do not want to become pregnant, 89% are practicing contraception.[2]
Contraceptive choices vary markedly with age. For women younger than 30, the pill is the leading method. Among women aged 30 and older, more rely on sterilization.[2]
The pill and female sterilization have been the two leading contraceptive methods in the United States since 1982. However, sterilization is the most common method among black and Hispanic women, while white women mostly commonly choose the pill.[2]
Female sterilization is most commonly relied on by women who are aged 35 or older, women who are currently or have previously been married, women with two or more children, women below 150% of the federal poverty level and women with less than a college education.[2]
Half of all women aged 4044 who practice contraception have been sterilized, and another 20% have a partner who has had a vasectomy.[2]
The pill is the method most widely used by women who are in their teens and 20s, women who are cohabiting, women with no children and women with at least a college degree.[2]
98 percent of women of reproductive age have used one or more methods.
Method use among U.S. women who practice contraception, 200608: Pill 28&%
WHO PAYS FOR CONTRACEPTION?
One-quarter of the more than 20 million American women who obtain contraceptive services from a medical provider receive care from a publicly funded family planning clinic.[5]
In 2008, 7.2 million women, including 1.8 million teenagers, received contraceptive services from publicly funded family planning clinics in the United States.[5]
Federal employees are guaranteed insurance coverage for contraceptives.[6]
Nine in 10 employer-based insurance plans cover a full range of prescription contraceptives, which is three times the proportion that did so just a decade ago.[7]
Twenty-seven states now have laws in place requiring insurers that cover prescription drugs in general to provide coverage for the full range of contraceptive drugs and devices approved by the Food and Drug Administration.[8]

Excellent post; thanks!
Long time, no see! What are your ping lists topics?
An unmarried and abstinent woman using the pill to treat endometriosis isn't using it for birth control, either.
*thank you*. I’ve long suspected this, but never ago around
to searching even online.
I really wish I knew more about water filtration, at
all levels of sophistication. Sounds like removing these
would require distillation.
The question is *how soon* do they break down. I’d like
to know more about the sand filter.
