You can counter-act your high risk of breast cancer by increasing your intake of antioxidants, because antioxidants do help prevent cancers to some degree. As far as birth control, you should opt for a low-dose because it is less damaging to your body.

well, birth control pills are very bad for your body and hormones. Even though it lightens periods i think you shouldn't. I take One a Day womens vitamins, it shortens your period without causing your body harm =)

There is no method of chemical birth control that is in any way safe. Common Side Effects for Combination Contraceptives: Weight gain Increase or decrease in acne Nausea and vomiting Dizziness Headaches Depression Vaginal infections High blood pressure Loss of libido Less Common Serious Health Complications: Blood clots in legs, lungs, heart or brain Stroke Liver tumors Heart attacks Gallstones Jaundice Cervical cancer Common Side Effects for Progestin Only Contraceptives: Spotting and irregular vaginal bleeding Longer periods Amenorrhea for extend periods Headaches Anxiety and nervousness Pain in lower abdominals Dizziness Loss of libido Depression Increase or decrease in acne Skin rash or darkened patches of skin Appetite changes Weight gain Tender breasts Increase or decrease in facial and body hair Hair loss Vaginal discharge Bone density loss Enlarged ovarian follicles Pain or itching Norplant users: infection at the site of implantation Less Common Serious Health Complications: Ectopic pregnancy Certain cancers ...Just to name a few. If you think it's worth your health, spin the wheel. Otherwise take your chances with a condom.
