Also, a lot of people don't realize that oral contraceptives offer benefits beyond literal contraception. I've been on the pill since I was a teen because it's the only thing that keeps wicked endometriosis symptoms at bay (and coincidentally have had the best luck on a progestin-only pill similar to the one that just got approved).

I can't believe this is the first time this scenario occurred to me!
