I'm slightly older than hannah and don't recall anyone of my age just on the pill endlessly for the sake of it? Also her thing about contraception falling to women.. is it just me but there's no way I'd trust anyone else to take some kind of anti contraceptive when I am the one who could end up pregnant if there's a mistake
Im Hannahs age and sadly what she is saying is my experience definitely. I had acne and the first thing the doctor did was put me on the pill. No other avenues explored, contraceptive pill at 14 years old, had probably been having a period for 1.5/2 years at that point. I was on that same pill until I was in my early 20s and had a blood clot, probably caused by the pill dianette, which has now been taken off the market because of deaths.
I have never went back on contraceptives and used condoms and have not got pregnant unwanted (thankfully) Ideally Id like my OH to get the snip now our family is complete but he isnt on board really. His body and is happy to use condoms.
I would never go back near hormonal contraceptives.
I wish it was explained more to me about the cons and pros of the contraceptive pill before it being given to me when I was still v young. I think almost all my friends were on the pill too.
