I've recently started taking Yasmin the contraceptive pill, and I am just curious, because I am injesting hormones, is it possible to become estrogen dependant or anything? If I stop taking them oneday, will I not be able to produce my own hormones or something? Will I then be estrogen deficient?
Just wanted to know, thanks in advance to anybody with information :)

No it work on a balance your pills cause you to have enough estrogen in your body so a gland in your brain doesn't secrete a hormone wich results in estrogen production. If you stop this gland will just start secreting that hormone again and you will start producing estrogen

Don't you think you should have asked your doctor this before you started taking the pills?
Women produce estrogen because they need it, they are already estrogen dependant. And yes, for a time after you stop taking Yasmin, you will be estrogen defficient, but after 3 to 6 months your body will start making it's own again.
