Maybe a dumb question, but if those are the risks you face, why not just take the pill every day? As in, skip the placebos.
My first wife had crippling menstrual cramps, toughest woman I’ve even known couldn’t get out of bed. Her doc put her on extra birth control, done, never had a period again.
Fuck the pill, lol. My sex drive completely drops off a cliff, I gain a bunch of weight, and I’m tired all the time. Plus, the period I get after I stop is the really painful one.
As the other commenter said, it does increase your risk of some cancers, but it also reduces your risk of other cancers, so I don’t know enough to choose which ones.
Well crap. I’d heard something about that, but it’s been nearly 20 years, thought it was an old-wive’s tale. Ex’s doctor told her there was zero risk, but again, that was 20 years back.

Well, in my case it’s because those pills exacerbate the chances of getting cancers my family is prone to…
