Yes, I think so.

BTW, most studies do show an increased risk of stroke and blood clots in Pill users. Even more interesting, I just read that the latest generation of Pills caused even more problems than the previous one. It encouraged women to continue using the second generation Pills instead. As for estrogen, many studies over the years do report lower incidences of stroke, heart disease, etc. However, in the last year this has been brought into question. A study out a few months ago reported no advantages found. This lead researchers to wonder if women on estrogen were just more conscientious overall about their health than women who took nothing. Interesting, and I think we'll see more about this. You have to look at all the studies together because periodically you do get those that contradict each other.
