I came across an article in which doctors were studying the effects of oral contraceptives containing estrogen on women with Lupus. The article quoted the New England Journal of Medicine as saying lupus symptoms in women taking the pills with estrogen were no worse than those using other forms of contraception, pills without estrogen, or those given placebos.
Where did they find the women willing to participate in this study?
The article failed to mention how many of those women taking the placebo birth control pills became PREGNANT!!!
