Possible Miricle Pill

SPUGGIE J · 28-03-2006, 07:58

On the news and in the paper there is a piece about a pill that could reduce breast cancer. For a change it has a good side effect PMT could be history. Now what will women use as an excuse for being grabby and bad tempered?
Joking aside it seems as though it is going to work though it might be a few years away. Sience is now getting the better of cancers etc.

This pill is actually a contaceptive pill and is years away from being on the market. It has not yet been tested by humans and as usual the press and scientific community are merely speculating about its possible advantages. Bear in mind that with all pills there are side effects.

There is already a product on the market with similar properties. The Mirena coil springs to mind and this works very well. What many women will see as a drawback to this new pill and the Mirena coil is that it will stop your periods completely. A lot of women see having periods as a normal way of telling that their bodies are working proplerly. This may be a reason why women seem to prefer the traditional combined pill over the Mirena. What a lot of women fail to realise is that the 'periods' that they get from the combined pill are not periods at all, but withdrawal bleeds which are totally different.

At this moment in time, most female GPs and Gynaecologists prefer the Mirena coil over the combined pill. I have a few friends who have had Mirena inserted and they all say that once you get used to not having periods........it's brill.

deprovera injection can stop periods all together but as for the combined pill is preferable as lettie says least whether its real period or not its just a reassurance thing that in most cases no baby phew lasting 2 seconds then urrrgghhh grrrr feeling for the duration lol

The combined/mini has been referred to reducing chances some kind of cancers like ovarian/cervical whether its true or not & always best to be certain by regular gyny check ups.

Ladies I appologise for my lack of knowledge I just saw the day when women couldnt blame the time of the month for their bad temperedness.
