Problem is—we’ve been doing a deep dive online and found some pretty terrifying stuff about side effects. That said, she actually used them once or twice before and didn't feel any different—plus, her OBGYN gave her the green light. She does smoke, though; her mom is a doctor and basically told her five cigarettes a day isn't going to kill her. Anyway, I'm wondering...
1.) If her doctor cleared her for it, does that mean she's essentially safe from major side effects now or down the road?
2.) Does those five cigarettes actually matter—right now or later on?
3.) If she quits smoking entirely, what are the odds of running into side effects if the doctor already said it was okay to start?
Yeah, I was just saying that maybe only the rare ones should bother posting anything written, because honestly, it hasn't exactly done anyone any favors so far... 🤣
Oh my goodness, have you guys actually read this? Good grief!😲
Wait, hold on a second... are we talking about being on the pill for like, one or two months? Or what?
So, her gynecologist and her doctor both told her there’s absolutely nothing to worry about regarding side effects, yet here she is, coming to us for reassurance? Honestly, if the pros have already given her the green light, why is she still stressing out and asking us? 🤷
Honestly, I’ve been drinking them for four years now while still smoking, so I guess I'm right there with you!🙂
