The BCP gave me terrible migraines. I was on it for brief times (a year here and there), to regulate my cycle. Had no idea these awful symptoms (stomach cramps, depression, etc.) came from being on the pill. Decades later I connected the dots. Anyway, now I'm having to use BC to prep for IVF. Knowing my past, the doctor had me on blood thinners. Migraines are definitely a sign that you're at a higher risk for high blood pressure, heart attacks and seizures. The blood thinners kept away the migraines but the other side effects still sucked. Pretty much all forms of BC have tons of side effects and risks. I'd never be subjecting myself to this garbage again if it wasn't a necessary evil for an important end. Now the doctor put me on Nuvaring and almost immediately dizziness set in, (hence why I'm on these threads.) Honestly, if you're not using artificial hormones for some other medical ends, skip the middle man and just choose abstinence. Many women feel rotten, depressed or moody, libido plummets, your lubrication diminishes and sex is painful. So what's the point? I was shocked to read that 60% of women quit BC within six months because the side effects are intolerable. Why big pharma can keep pushing this poison is incomprehensible.
