The reason why I ask this is because as we know, we’re always hearing something in the news about how any kind of synthetic/artificial hormone placed within our bodies can cause our bodies to go awry. On top of that, whenever I read the backs of those birth control advertisements in various magazines, that small print which gives side effects and what not, it always states that if you’ve ever had any type of cancer, discontinue use immediately–(maybe not in those words but basically that’s what it’s stating). So, I guess my question is, why do doctors prescribe birth control pills like they’re candy and why are women so quick to take them? (I have never been on BC –it’s just too damn risky, period). I don’t want to fake my body out by making it think (if you will) that those synthetic hormones are what my body is naturally producing. I’m thankful I’ve never had a need to be on them. What are some of your thoughts/opinions on this? Thanks in advance.
PPNurse, I don’t drink, smoke, nor do I drink sodas. My entire family eat everything organic. I did have a baby and had a successful pregnancy (no complications whatsoever and lost all 53 pounds of weight gain in two and half months without any surgical procedures). Again, every woman’s body is different and react differently to various things. Although I appreciate your response, I’m still leery of BC and will never use them. For me, it’s much more safer to have never been on them versus being on them and dealing with risky/potential problems caused by them later on.
Not on any medications either…believe it or not, I’m 34 and have never been on any prescribed or unprescribed medications. I hate pills!
