Yes, Chris, I knew of this study that was published several weeks ago. I think you mean the risk is greatest for women that took the pill for four years prior to a full term pregnancy and that risk would continue for ten years following discontinuation of the pill. If you look at that study, even 6 months use of the pill prior to a full term pregnancy increased bc risk. Yes, the 6 month use was less increased risk than the 4 year use but still it's alarming that only an extremely short exposure had an impact.

Sorry you took the pill. I did too for a very short time in early marriage, trying to save money before I had a family. Little did I know I was harming myself as the physicians who perscribed the pill told me it was safe and would not increase my risk of bc. I guess they didn't know back then how harmful the pill was but they should have before allowing thousands of young women to take it. Shame on the FDA and physicians who endorsed it.
