THE PILL: ARE YOU SURE IT'S FOR YOU?
By Jane Bennett and Alexandra Pope While the Pill is taken by most women and girls at some stage in their lives, few realise it is not wihtout side-effects. Clear links have been made to depression, nausea, headaches and migraines, as well as a loss of libido. Contrary to what most of us believe, it is not failsafe contraception. Around 2 in 10 women do conceive while taking the Pill. Other experience difficulties conceiving after coming off this drug. There are also nutritional concerns, which can affect the health of subsequent children long after you have stopped taking it.
