I've heard that many gynecologists won't even prescribe it because it's no good. I asked mine about it when I went in for an appointment a few weeks ago. I don't like the idea of the extra estrogen in my system from the regular pills since researchers are still unsure about the connection between birth control pills and breast cancer. My gynecologist said, "I'd rather you stick with the regular birth control pills. I really don't like this new Ortho-Lo pill they have out."

Absolutely, 100%, not true! Research has shown that women who are on the pill and go off of it have no less of a chance of conceiving than women who were never on the pill. In fact, research has shown that women who just went off of the pill have a greater chance of conceiving than women who were never on it.
