Also, as I said, with PMS,
Some women have really severe PMS and it happens, you know, because it happens reliably about a week or a few days before their periods.
And what's happening in that case, when you're in a natural cycle, your estrogen level goes up, it peaks around ovulation, and then if you do not conceive, it starts to go down.
And we think the trigger for some of the PMS is not the estrogen itself, but the falling estrogen that triggers it.
The same is true for migraines, for people who get menstrual migraines.
It's the falling hormones.
So when you take birth control pills, you can sort of even out that precipitous decline that you get.
So that's very helpful.
And it's also first line for even when they're suspected.
endometriosis or cramping, and some people have very, very painful periods, and birth control pills do help with that as well.
No, they do not.
You're not accelerating the aging.
You're not doing anything deleterious to the ovary itself.
Let's just say you start birth control pills when you're 20, and you take them until you're 35 because you're not ready to have a baby until you're 35.
Well, your fertility at 35 when you stop taking the pills is not what it was at 20.
So if you're having difficulty conceiving at 35, it's not the 15 years of birth control pills that did it to you.
It is the fact that you are 35.
And that is something that we have to take into account.
Your fertility changes decade by decade, but it's not the pills.
And sometimes we blame the pills for things that really we shouldn't.
