Yikes. February 2007 of Prevention magazine states the following:
"women who spent at least 4 years on birth control pills before their first pregnancy had a 52% increased risk of developing
breast cancer before menopause... "
However, they may help against other cancers...
But what if you don't want any type of cancer????
What's a girl to do?

Not get old. 68% of women over 65 die of cancer anyway.

the first thing to do is to talk to your doctor. Ask about the risks of these cancers and find out if they supported by the doctor. Also I have been on birth control for two years and it helps lesson the amount of time that I have my cycle, like instead of going for 6-7 day with heavy flow I am down to 1-2 days with a light flow plus some birth control can help with other areas as well. You have to thing of the down side of not taking any form of birth control and thats unwanted pregnancies. Using condoms is not an effective birth control measure. Just talk to your doctor because there are a lot of different kinds of birth control.

No it received't result you and in reality it may help sparkling up zits! It will also keep you from getting pregnant in case your sexually energetic! Time to confer with mom if you're because portion of being sexually to blame is being on birth control to evade being pregnant! yet another portion of being sexually to blame is understanding about std's and getting checked for them a minimum of once a three hundred and sixty 5 days! mom can help you with this becasue an excellent type of health center's wont see you in case you do not have parental permission! Which my daughter is ten or maybe as she is 16 in 6 years i might want to pick her to come back to me if she comes to a decision she is waiting! now to not teach i don't believe of it accurate that health center and medical doctors no longer tell father and mom about those ingredient if their little ones are doing it or grow to be pregnant becasue they are not criminal human being yet! even as your an human being then it is your determination as for now my daughter stay in my homestead and it isn't a democracy below my roof! LOL! i'm no longer attempting to be advise in consumer-friendly words attempting to impact upon you the importance of being sexually to blame and talking to mom!

Taking the risk of getting cancer is much better than taking the risk of having a bunch of rug rats that you can't afford to take care of and/or don't want.

Usually they say if you take birth control you have a smaller chance of getting cancer.

I tried my girlfriend's before and they taste pretty good. I don't think I have to worry about menopause or breast cancer though, so I just eat them for the taste.

LOLOLOLOL...."what if you don't WANT any type of cancer?" Do you think there ARE people who want cancer?
That article is a crock of hooey. I had breast cancer and was never on birth control. My sister, too.

Check with your doctor. My impression is that the risk is minimal, and the convenience is considerable.
