Thanks for your post PPC. I referred it to my 22 year old daughter who has been on the pill for the last few years.

She unfortunately is one of those girls whose period is nearly debilitating so the pill was suggested by her gyno. It was a godsend for her. Of course it has now become useful for other reasons as well (if only she had seriously considered becoming a nun!) What would be your suggestion, regarding alternatives, to alleviate her symptoms if she decided to stop taking them?
