THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

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).

What then? Is it risky to keep it longer?

You can't imagine how liberating it is to not have to remember to take the pill every day!

I imagine that being a hormone, it works like the progestin-only pill - is that true?

I don't tolerate estrogen, and I also don't want to take a pill every day.
