Long Term Effects of Oral Contraception
May 04, 2009 at 2:11pm
Hello! I wanted to start a new discussion about the long term effects of oral contraception. I have heard about birth control potentially affecting fertility when taken for too many years. Has anyone heard about this? It has been difficult to find any studies that validate or contradict this claim. Does anyone have any insight on this?
