Oke my side effects, ( i started after the doctor decided that i was drinking to many pain killers that time of the month age 18) (it didn't work for the pain)
My body hair increased ( facial and on my back lucky i'm blond)
headaches
cellulite (estrogen causes cellulite)
no sex drive (That i only figured out later when it started to bother me when guys called me the ice queen, when i was 20 it was a compliment)
I picked up weight (lots)
Moods (pms)
Because they do not test your hormone leves at 18 they give you the wrong pill and you end up with ages of problems later.
But hell i can deal with my body not screaming fussing little ones.
So besides the chances of dying i became an hormonal monster with lots of fluffy white body hair......
@ Peder - what do you do if you are married and do not want kids? Or more kids?
If you do not want kids then you go for the snip snip (cut the little cord of the testicles so they don't make sperm, can't remember the word now)
lol, there is the solution right there, throw in a condom or two, a few pills here, and there is no chance of any "reproduction" of any kind
on a more serious note, there are certain benefits to using the pill
- controls menstrual cycles (ie keeps "it" regular and on time)
- reduced chance of ovarian cancer (if used for something like more than 2 years)
- i have also heard that it helps control acne (this may be an old wives tale used to have your daughter birth control but I am not sure)
Apparently taking "the pill" during teenage years may cause breast cancer when older...
