Talk:Oral contraceptive pill/Archive 1

message: The following was removed because it cannot be substanciated as well as information found contradicts its validity.
It also takes at least one complete menstrual cycle for the pill to become effective; many young women have found themselves unexpectedly pregnant during that window.
From planned parenthood:
Planned Parenthood report that if you start the combination pill within five days after the start of your period, take the first active pill of the first pack. You will not need to use a back up method of birth control. You are protected against pregnancy immediately.
 
If you start the combination pill at any other time during your menstrual cycle, take the first active pill of the first pack. Use another method of birth control if you have vaginal intercourse during the first week of combination pill use — protection will begin after seven days.
 
You may start the progestin-only pill at any time. Use another method of birth control if you have vaginal intercourse during the first 48 hours of progestin-pill use — protection will begin after two days.

message: I changed part of it to read "to 20% of the months spent on the pill" because it makes makes more sense that "20% of the months" and is more understandable.  I don't know if this is correct though - feel free to change it!!!

thread_title:  I did it!!! 

message: I have removed the following part:
The Pill's wide acceptance in the West has dramatically decreased birth rates. In the United States this decreased birth rate is the primary reason for the insufficient payroll tax revenue that is causing the looming insolvency crisis for Social Security (United States). In Europe, similar problems have developed as fewer people are paying into the system per each person drawing benefits.
*First of all the pension issue really belongs into the article pension. (I would recommend putting it on the talk page of pension first.) 
*No matter where you insert these sentences, they are at best misleading in any context. The pension system is a fairly new invention, so you cannot actually say that it has worked well for centuries before the pill arrived. Then, the development of population size depends on other factors as well, notably antibiotics. Before the arrival of antibiotics about a century ago infectious deseases, tuberculosis and the like, were the major cause of death. Particularly old people and children fell victim to it. So the birth rate may have been higher, but the children did not become old. --Fenice 08:29, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The pension issue

message: I oppose the paragraph that goes on about caffeine metabolism and body odour. These are the results of very small studies which do not justice to the enormous amount of women taking the Pill. Let's just say that neither are of a big concern to many users, and being put off by someone's newfound mate after stopping the pill is pure inference. Please do not reinsert it.

thread_title: Smelling odd and caffeine

message: This sentence "This can be partially attributed to abortions sought due to birth control failure." was added by an anon (here).  I removed it as it lacked a source.  Feel free to find a source and re-add it. JesseW 19:58, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for removing that line.  I am one of the many people keeping an eye on 214.13.4.151 since she has a long history of adding POV statements into abortion related articles.  See for yourself.  --Quasipalm 16:54, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced sentence - abortions due to birth control failure 

message: I removed the link to http://www.birthcpills.com/birth_control_choices.html as it would seem to be a comercial pharmacy site - a general family planning patient advice site would be more appropriate, if it is felt any link is required. eg the UK Family Planning Association is at http://www.fpa.org.uk  and its links to the various methds:  http://www.fpa.org.uk/guide/contracep/index.htm .  The link, if really required for advice on combined pills and weight gain is: http://www.fpa.org.uk/guide/contracep/compill.htm#7  --David Rubentalk 13:15, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Side effect references

message: The part labelled "The invention" (section 11.1) consists of two separate and partly overlapping accounts, the first of which is four lengthy paragraphs, the second two short ones; this is not good! Someone needs to let us know how the pieces fit together.

thread_title:  History: reconcile both parts 

message: I think it would be interesting if one of wikipedias resident doctors would help add a section on what would happen if women were to take a fertility drug while taking an oral contraceptive. I know it may sound strange at first, but there could be countless reason why she might do this, the most prominent to my mind being that she might take the first for her boyfriend and the second because she truelly wants a child.

thread_title:  Possible addition to this section 

message: This article is sorely lacking in any kind of historical, social or political perspective. It's a stub, at best. 74.1.90.194 19:50, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Perspective 

message: I thought that the numerous sections divided up for each type of pill was very affective and created numerous branches for other types of information to be added. Making it a more global based research by talking about other countries instead of just the United States allowed for a true understanding of what pills are used and how they are used in various parts of the world. Like one of the other comments listed above I would agree that a little more history on the topic would definitely improve the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ZachHS (talk • contribs) 15:08, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
