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…

  1. Some days I’m truly glad to be a man. :)

    Seriously, thank you for sharing yet another benefit of NFP!

  2. Jess says:

    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!

  3. Jess, you’re always providing me with great new/interesting facts to include in my presentations!

    Thanks so much for your commitment!

    I’m glad it helps, Batrice! You’re very welcome, and thank *you* for your commitment! Let me know if you find interesting discoveries, as well.

    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.

  6. Jess says:

    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?
