What are the risk taking birth control pills?

Well, the top contributor here is about perfect on her post. In fact, it looks professional from one of the bc writers. She couldn't be more right, but there are others...





Most used to work on hormonal issues, making your body ';think'; it was pregnant. The worst then were cancer and blood-clotting, which could lead to death. However, thanks to one young lady, I was informed that newer ones like Yaz and Yasmin, can actually kill you straight up. In looking at the ';risks'; they listed, it seemed that most were still related to clots, but it still made me wonder if it was worth taking just for sex. I mean, it doesn't protect against HIV/AIDS, so it seems like you get two risks for just sex, which makes it pretty slim in my view. I would rather have the child AND my wife/lover, than lose her because I wasn't ready for a family.





In the cancer area, one left out is Liver Cancer. If you smoke and take an oral contraceptive, there is an increased risk in getting this form of cancer. As of yet, I have not seen it listed anywhere, but I do know that it happens and it seems to be related to something in smoking and taking BC. I only know because my wife smoked and took the pill, and died of this form of cancer. While searching the files, I found that a lot of women had this issue, not all surviving. In my wife's case, they could not pin down exactly where the cancer started, though they were trying, before she died. Total time from onset to death was less than six months.





As with any drug, there are side effects that may only occur in some people. When a company puts out the literature on its ';pet drug,'; they often do not list all of the problems. They use testing to decide if the risks are too great or not. One death will not even be noticed, and may not account for even 1% of the problems they encounter. However, if one million woman take that drug, look at the numbers under that little percentage. One percent is one in 100, so you can guess at what it would be for all of the women in the US. While you may not run that risk, abnormal bleeding, mental illness, or other less serious problems may catch up to you a lot faster, as the percentages grow until they feel they are worth noting in their ads.





There are also problems with certain groups of people, in this case women. Age, health, and mental issues can reduce your chances for taking this drug safely. Some doctors do not know the risks, often called counter-indicators, that they should before proscribing any drug. One big issue is that you should not be pregnant, but they do not all do testing before they put people on it. This can cause problems, of course. Many women have been put on drugs for mental issues, while pregnant, and the result has been disabilities in their children (often permanent and/or fatal).





Talk it over with your doctor, then review the information YOURSELF, to decide. If you have questions, ask them. Make sure you know exactly what you are taking, how, and what to expect, by asking either your doctor or the pharmacist. While most people on here try to do their best in answering, we are not doctors and cannot be trusted, including me. Some just mess around to mess with people's heads, so beware.





Sadly, the pill doesn't protect against a cheating husband or lover. Even if you are on the pill, you can still get an STD because your partner, or partners, mess around with infected people. I know several women who have had STDs because their husbands messed around on them, and they found out in the worst ways.What are the risk taking birth control pills?
Numerous.





Less serious ones are increased acne*, weight gain*, bloating*, vaginal dryness*,loss of interest in sex*, and cervical erosion.





More serious (and likely painful!) ones include ovarian cysts*, blood clots, strokes, hormonal imbalances* that can lead to HEAVIER periods* and MORE cramps* (in turn leading to anemia* due to loss of blood) and death. And it's not just Yaz. All birth control pills carry these risks.





The ones with asterisks by them are ones that I have personally experienced.





These risks are associated not only with the pill but with ALL forms of hormonal contraception. They disrupt your body's regular balance based on the myth that all women have 28 day cycles and ovulate on day 14, and if you don't, then there's something wrong with you, so you need harsh chemicals in order to correct it.





I strongly suggest learning FAM. It involves ZERO risks and is far more effective. In fact, it is second only to abstinence in effectiveness.
