stats questions (for Dr. Wang or anyone else)From: Emme (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 12 Sep 2000 12:21:06 -0500 (CDT)
Had a couple of quick questions I was hoping someone could answer. 1) Out of curiosity, does anyone know the break-down of birth control usage in the US? (ie. what percentage use the pill, what percentage use barrier methods, what percentage use depo...etc.)? 2) Does the pill inhibit ovulation by giving a woman's body MORE hormones that it is used to? Is that why some women can't deal with it? I was on a triphasic pill and was wondering how the varying levels of hormones affected my system. Also, how have progestin and estrogen (each separately) been shown to affect women? Could my body have not dealt well because of an excess of one of these hormones? I found out that I have a history of depression on my dad's side of the family and have been very depressed and fatigued while on the pill...in addition to having chronic headaches and stomach pains, and UTI symptoms every month (months 3-7 that I was on it). On Dr. Wang's advice I have gone off the pill to see if things get any better. I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was wondering if I should consider trying a different pill in the future, or if I should just use other methods of bc. Women with problems similar to those I have reported haven't seemed to be able to find a pill with tolerably low side effects :(
