I too was on the pill at 10...however I think the worst of it was that
they were tri-phasic... I have written it all off now tho... I think
they did what their narrow minds could do...NOW at least, tere are
supposedly better pills for PCOS... but considering we were all passing
uge clots I doubt that the pill CAUSED the damage... oh well either
way... I have no desire to find another pool of spilled milk to cry
over... my m/c has me teary enough.......... i feel my cycle
progressing and thats just messing with my head...
