Hi Anne
I loved reading your article in Saturday’s paper about the 50th anniversary of the pill and the difficulties of being a young lady in the 60′s. I have forwarded your article to my daughter as she has no idea of those times. I hope she shares it with a lot of her friends as well. Your article told the readers so much about those times.
regards
Margaret
What about the increase in chances of stroke and diabetes? How bad this is for women with PCOS? Often used to treat PCOS (as I was, prescribed by a GYN), my (very well known, highly respected) Endocrinologist almost fell off his chair when I told him the GYN had me on it. I took myself off it due to other little side effects not even knowing the deeper, darker story.
With a family history of diabetes and cerebrovascular disease, the last thing I need is a “little yellow pill” adding to the already present risk factors.
As for the contraceptive part, it scares me that so many women rely on this man-made ingestable drug instead of common-freaking-sense!!
I couldn’t comment on the SMH/Daily Life site where I saw this posted, so took the time to hunt your website down.
