I took the pill for several years with no ill effects.Thankfully. For now.
It's the long-term effects that concern medical researchers."The research concluded that women who used the oral contraceptive pill
may be exposed to long-term problems from low values of "unbound" testosterone
potentially leading to continuing sexual, metabolic, and mental health consequences."http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=35663
Give me a break.
"For now"? How long term are we talking about? I took it from 1969-1982, and it's now 2006. In my lifetime, at least, that's loooooong term.
