THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

My OBGYN always advises me to take the same thing.

This is good if you are happy with what you are taking! The pill is not a matter of fashion, but a method that protects against unwanted pregnancy, and it should make you feel both good and safe thanks to its effects/benefits/non-contraceptive advantages. The pills available are not all the same – there are a wide variety of them because there are many different women with many different needs. There is not one contraceptive that is better than the rest. Rather, there is one to suit each woman according to her needs. A new contraceptive is not necessarily better than an old one. The fact that a new pill has been developed does not mean you should stop taking the old one that has been working well for you.

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.
