Hi Nat,
What do you have to say about going on the pill to prevent the progression of endometriosis disease leading to infertility? The pill has been sold to me as the treatment option for a myriad of potential gyny issues.

In reply to Lucy.

Totally – check out these studies.
1. By V. Beral et al. ‘Mortality associated with oral contraceptive use: 25 year follow up cohort of 46,000 women from Royal College of General Practitioners oral contraceptive study.
2. Also ‘Oral contraceptive use and malignancies of the general tract. The Lancet, 2 (8624)

Wow Nat that’s scary stuff, would that apply to progesterone trouches prescribed to balance hormones? Thanks for being brave and bold with the truth!

Thanks, Nat! Do you have a link to the study done, though?

Don’t stop spreading this message of awareness, information seeking and informed decision making Nat! I never tire of hearing it; rather it just fuels my own passion to share it with my friends, cousins, aunts, colleagues, anyone!

Stopping the pill over a year ago and the journey I’ve been on since then to get re-acquainted with my body and the wonder that is the female menstrual cycle has been nothing short of inspiring, wondrous and “game-changing!”

Thanks again,

Amy xx
