I could only make it partway through the article before throwing up in my mouth so I don’t know if they mention that the FDA standards for birth control are balanced against the risk of pregnancy - which of course, men have none.
I do find it absolutely incredible how little women are warned about the side effects though. They go a good portion (or the entire portion of their fertile years) potentially thinking that their sex drive is just that low, having been on it since they were 15 and not knowing any better. Hell, some studies have shown being on hormonal BC might actually affect who you’re attracted to, which is all fine and dandy until you stop taking it…
My wife went on birth control for the first time when I was dating her in college and the first few things she tried basically changed her into a different person, personality-wise. To be blunt, they turned her into a bitch. If that happened when she was a teen I don’t know if anyone would have noticed.
As far as what’s mentioned in the article, I don’t see how they’re getting around the issue of your testosterone levels and fertility potentially not rebounding after being on testosterone replacement long enough. Does that other hormone somehow help with that?
