I am curious if birth control is okay to use, in cases of health issues.
I have a disease that causes extreme blood loss and my family has history of ovarian cancer (which my disease also increases risk of). I have been told by numerous doctors that taking at least a low-dose birth control pill, would help the blood loss and cut my risk of ovarian cancer, by 50%.
I’ve heard that the pills can cause an early-term abortion, which is why I still haven’t tried taking them.
I haven’t had success yet with iron-rich foods helping my Anemia and there’s no cure for the disease that causes the heavy bleeding. I also don’t know of strong preventative measures of ovarian cancer.
I would use other various forms of pregnancy control at the same time, to prevent possibility of pill-induced abortion.
I know this is pretty controversial, but I’d really appreciate some advice and prayers. Also, if anyone knows some ways to help these problems, I’d love to know!
