This summary introduced something I didn’t know about birth control pills: they can contribute to developments of chronic yeast infections. More on this here, also. Natural methods are looking better all the time…

    Right, Dustin? Yikes. I’m sure there are a lot more benefits out there…I’m an NFP benefits collector, and I’m just sharing the wealth!

    In the last year where I work with three women have had their gall bladders removed. All from the birth control pill. None of the women knew this was a side effect (all felt a little angry about this). Doctors really need to tell women these things before subscribing pills.

    Agreed, Jeanne! It really seems there are some informed consent issues with this since it’s prescribed to millions upon millions of women yearly w/ little or no mention of the seriousness of some of the side effects. In fact, one medical professional has written and published a paper to this effect, particularly focusing on the abortafacient effect, which is never mentioned to women. So, are your co-workers getting off the Pill, and are they open to natural methods?
