Birth Control Pills
Some people don't realise if you change pills there is a window period when you can fall pregnant. I'm wondering how much harm does it do to a developing baby if they are conceived while on birth control pills?
I was one Diane 35 as teenager for my bad skin - only for a month as luckily my mother realised I was having PMS from hell for the entire month so the doctor took me off it. I know that you must not fall pregnant on Diane 35 as there is a very high risk of having a deformed baby. It is only a mini pill and not supposed to be used as a contraceptive but I was stunned to find out that friend of mine was taking it as a contraceptive here in Perth. It was prescribed by a doctor.

I would have thought that that sort of thing was best left as a private matter between patient and doctor, who are in possession of the full facts of the matter.

Re: Birth Control Pills
It is still used as a birth control, even in the UK, given certain medical factors.
