Does Taking Birth Control Pills Effect Menopause ?
I am 50 and my doctor asked me to stop taking my birth control 3 mos before I see him again. I've been on BC for 20 years, am 180 lbs and 5'3". What kind of symptoms can I expect physically and emotionally? spotting, ups and down emotions? Does that depend on whether I have started menopause? I want to be mentally prepared
