Birth control pills can be quite risky for some people—it really depends on your family medical history. In my immediate family, there are three cases of breast cancer, which is exactly why I wouldn't even consider taking them.
Yet, my gynecologist never once asked about my history—nor did they bother to warn me.
That’s why I say you have to be careful with those little things—I suppose.
If I didn't have these situations right in front of me, I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought... but at this point, it's definitely something I have to weigh.

I suppose we’re all in favor of contraception
—though there are certainly methods out there that don't unnecessarily bump up your risk levels
regarding diseases from... well, who knows exactly what...
🙂

Honestly, I feel like I’m just spinning my wheels here—kind of a party pooper, I suppose.
I’ve tried everything from Trinovum to Triquilar and even Cilest
—and frankly, I didn't have any issues with them specifically.
But I stopped taking them for the sake of my health,
and there is absolutely no intention of going back.
It’s about those nasty family medical histories—you know, things like breast cancer and such.
Plus, once I actually sat down and thought about it, the whole concept just started feeling... off.
The idea of messing around with hormones—
which, I guess, does have its own set of perks...
Just look after yourselves, ladies.
