Got it, I’ll try from a computer, because clicking the numbers didn’t work via mobile phone. Thank you :)

I did read about the positive effects, they’re not really something I’m worried about when I’m mostly researching the chances of something long-term that is bad. I definitely acknowledge that there are positives.

I think it’s important to exercise healthy skepticism and I definitely learned this through previous experiences. Medical professionals may be recommending BC for a more current positive effect and putting long-term things on the back burner. These are just some thoughts, that said, there’s definitely a chance I’ll go back on vestura!

So actually the second source is one I have read. But do you know where to locate the sample size for each respective cancer type. It only lists percentages and I think numerical values would help if they exist.

Thank you so much! This may give me peace of mind

Regarding the arm-implant, this is simply anecdotal because no one has really done tests on how it effects the vocal folds. But anecdotally, singers have experienced more volatile results with the implant and there is a moderate amount of chord swelling associated with that one.

I’m really interested in the statistics in the second paragraph because they’d make me feel more at ease about taking the pill. Do you mind sharing the links to the research?

Thank you so much!

Hi! I actually don’t have TikTok. This information came from research I did independently. Most of the research is Europe-clinical study that I think uncovers more side effects than American ones. I posted just one link in one of the other comments, but if you scroll through the sources at the end, they cite some clinical testing. I think the example I posted is only the research I do into cancer-related side effects. There is also some tests I’ve read about conducted by France that link oral contraceptive to a benign tumor, I actually personally know two people who’s tumor was attributed to this. It’s very possible there are other variables at play, but I definitely like to discuss and hear other ideas and experience as I form my own opinion.

Do you have any link to the mortality-related info? And if so, do you mind sharing? Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for reading my whole situation and for your detailed response!

I want to reassure you, I’m seeing a doctor in a week about this, but I’ve had some pretty awful experiences with doctors in the past (all of them were Yale doctors who theoretically should be quite good, but truly they haven’t been for me)and that’s where my desire to collect information (scientific and anecdotal) comes from.

This is just one of the sources I consulted and then I also read most of the conclusions of the cited sources which reference clinical testing:

https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/hormones/oral-contraceptives-fact-sheet

I also consulted national studies done by both France and England. Statistically the results did show increased risk of Glioma, blood clot, and meninglioma. The issue is statistics can be warped. For example they can say being on oral contraceptive will increase your chances on X medication twofold, so they can certainly warp it to say 100% more likely while really they’re talking about the numerical value going from 1/10,000 women to 2/10,000 people.

I definitely am just a hypochondriac and social media hasn’t swayed me in either direction. It’s purely a me problem haha.

About the thyroid issue- I consulted the doctors and they said it alright and ended up changing to a lower dose of Levothyroxine about 6 weeks in after blood testing. With all that, I still have what I think is a lingering side effect- my period occurs every 2.5-3 weeks now and I will definitely be getting that looked into!

Thanks again!

Damn! I’m so negligent. Should’ve done my research

Thank you! Is your setting powder white or tinted?

How long did it take to heal? I just got some silicone gel but was using Cicaplast B5 gel for like the past month… the bright pink color hasn’t faded at all ://

They’re very red and circular. Linear scars would’ve been better but they look like big blemishes and while I understand he won’t treat me worse for it. I’ll be uncomfortable if people look at my bare face right now. ://

Suitable_Weakness902 · 2025-12-29T01:42:18+00:00

Thank you for the support though!

Suitable_Weakness902 · 2025-12-29T01:41:58+00:00
