I heard that it's bad to take it after 40 years of age, but can I still get pregnant?
Actually, you can still get pregnant, and thus you can continue taking the same combined pill unless the gynecologist does not recommend it for specific reasons. The latest studies show that it is safe to use even up to 50 years of age. In practice, you can even take it during premenopause if you do not smoke and if you are not hypertensive (of course, regular pressure checkups are necessary in order to be sure).
Can you notice it when you wear a short-sleeved shirt? I wouldn't want people looking at me!
I discussed it with my gynecologist to better understand why this can happen.
At first I was worried, I thought maybe it wasn't the right method for me.
Right now I like the idea that it lasts three years, but what if I decide I want to have a child....
