No sh!t there's a risk for any drug. Fact is, the risk is very high with this one. That's all i was trying to get across.

People are literally dropping dead for fvck's sake. They don't even have symptoms, it just happens. You can put your girlfriend on it if you want, I don't really give half a sh!t.

Again, if you did any research on the subject, you would notice that all of the normal dosage BC options have the same side effect. The low dosages has a lower chance, but it is also a less effective option.

people are literally dropping dead from fvcking french fries too, but that doesn't mean everyone should stop eating french fries. :laugh:

the risk is no greater than the pill.

and my wife is on it. when she went on it, i looked into it. as i said, the risk is minimal. should she have experience any adverse reactions to it, she would go off of it. just like ANY drug.

Depo Provera has a much better, not to mention longer track record. I used it for three years. I now am on pills to help with hormone fluxuation following a cancer scare.
