    so if someone can't have children after giving up the pill then it means they didn't need to take the pill in the first place - logic

    I still don’t really get it though, so you’re supposed to start the pills the first day of your period? I didn’t do that I believe, and since I didn’t does that mean I have a huge risk of pregnancy? I did learn how to regulate my period though

    I’m a woman who transitioned from a mans body. I was really afraid of getting pregnant so I have taken the pill consistently for five years. Sometimes I even double the dosage just to be safe. The pill has worked wonders for me, as a woman.

      @Sky Ler what’s a joke is the denial of basic biology. Regardless, the complete lack of knowledge to medication and how it ACTUALLY works ON BORN WOMAN, is repulsive. To even go as far as the dramatic fear of pregnancy is insulting to say the least.

Millions are suffering from deficiencies and they don't know it and doctors don't care. My daughter had zero help from doctors because they want us sick. It's all by design so you buy big pharma's drugs.

      @sheilo kasonde
      I made very few changes to my diet which was really just trying not to eat as much junk food or fast food. To be honest I was not always consistent with these changes that I made to my diet. I would say that my activity level stayed the same, exercising every other day.- I believe that the weight loss was due to my hormones being out of whack (doctors think I might have PCOS) and I was told that the pill can aid women with symptoms of PCOS. Some of these symptoms include acne, depression, problems with body weight, and irregular periods- all of which I have . . Hope this helps
