>>One of the main problems with all hormonal contraceptives is long-term compromised fertility. That’s fine for those who never want to have children, but many are not happy with permanent infertility.<<
Nor the cardiovascular problems.
That's true. I've noticed that heart disease in women has become a fashionable "cause" recently, although obesity and sedentary lifestyles are probably larger contributors to heart disease than contraceptives.
Of course, obesity, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyles also contribute to the menstrual and reproductive symptoms that hormones are prescribed to "fix."
