Cramping, painful and irregular periods are often due to a deficiency of progesterone and an excess of estrogen. So estrogen-alone birth control pills -- as are the most commonly prescribed pills on the market now -- often compound the problem.
That's why some women have intolerable estrogen-induced side effects when they are on birth control pills like: Weight gain, Mood swings, Breast tenderness, What's Wrong With the Pill?
In simple terms, what's wrong with the pill (by the way birth control shots and patches are essentially the same thing) is it promotes continuous high levels of estrogen in a woman's body.
Science tells us this is dangerous.
A woman's natural cycle is composed of rising and falling levels of estrogen and progesterone. Birth control pills work by keeping estrogen at a sufficiently high level that they fool the body into thinking it is pregnant, therefore another pregnancy cannot occur.
They work by one or a combination of methods:
Some pills prevent ovulation.
Others prevent implantation of a fertilized egg in the endometrium or lining of the uterus.
Still others thicken the mucus around the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to penetrate.
There is even a new brand of birth control pill on the market that boasts woman can safely have a period only four times a year or they can avoid having periods altogether for years at a time without a break from the estrogen blast.
We certainly don't know everything about estrogen or estrogen dominance, as it is called when estrogen levels remain high without being balanced by progesterone, but among the effects we do know are:
Increased risk of breast cancer
Increased risk of blood clotting,
heart attack and stroke
Migraines
Gall bladder disease
Increased blood pressure
Weight gain
Mood changes
Nausea Irregular bleeding or spotting
Benign liver tumors
Breast tenderness

I'm just waiting for the first doctor to speculate that this generational consumption of steroids might be the real cause of autism.
I've never taken the pill although I used to suffer from INTENSE cramps and it was recommended by my doctors simply because I don't like the idea of taking any pill daily for 30 or so years. Something about it rubs me the wrong way. But when they came out with the pill that makes it possible to only have a period every 4 months, Seasonale, I was extremely tempted. I decided against it although most research said it's safe and no different than the other pills on the market. But if they come out with a pill that totally eliminates my period without turning me into a man, I will be the first in line.
The problem with the "pill" is the same problem with all steroids. When taken excessively and for long periods it can wreak havoc on the body. In the case of the "pill," these steroids diminish and sometimes destroy the female's reproductive system.
With this understanding, it is inconceivable that almost no one has speculated on a possible link between autism and the wide use of the "pill."
There are two interesting facts about autism and its possible link to widespread use of abortion and faulty contraception. One is the physiological angle and the other is the metaphysical angle.
Autistics show both brain degenerancy and brain hyperactivity. These are the general effects of repeated and perpetual steroid use.
On the metaphysical front, autism has come to our attention not just because it correlates well with the onslaught of widespread abortion and faulty contraception use, but because it is an absolute psychological nightmare for parents. In general, autistics, especially in early life, give their parents a sense of nothingness. The mother looks at her child and the child looks right through her as though the mother did not exist.
One can't help but wonder if this is the silent protest for all those that were killed in the name of a parent's freedom.
Wow.
DAMN.
That's some heavy shit TD.
OK Thordaddy,
We got off on the wrong foot. Let's begin again. Let's start with how you connected use of birth control pills with autism. I need to know how you guys think. Seriously.
DMG,
I haven't made any connections. I only speculate because it seems as though vaccines are the only thing that one considers when talking about a possible cause of autism.
It's not hard to imagine why such speculation is non-existent.
I think it is pretty clear that both contraceptives and abortion negatively alter the growth environment for any potential zygote. I think it is also understood that the womb is the primary mechanism of action for the general evolving of zygote. When this mechanism is damaged so is the zygote.
Simply put, contraceptives and abortion alter the reproductive environment and its potential effects on unborn children is hardly known other than the general knowledge we have concerning extensive steroid use and what they may look like in a newborn.
Like I said, I am just speculating and putting out what I see.
I read this post and it reminded me to take my pill.
Right now, I am in the middle of experimenting with the pill, so I am not sure if I can endorse it.
I will say, after a month and a half, I have Britney's rack (I wasn't aiming for this). My breast look like they did when I was in my early 20's. I actually took a picture, because I thought I was imaging this sh*t.
Picture is here.
^that was a joke, no pic.
Damn Law. Why you messin' with a brother? I'm clickin' in the comment box so hard, damn near broke my mouse.
Thordaddy,
Fair enough. You are taking a wild guess based on...well nothing. I hope you understand that this is how rumors begin, and how patients are convinced to skip needed treatment, kind of like that kid with Hodgkins. Again, I'm not saying drop what you are doing and enroll in a biology course, but you really need to understand something about steroid hormones first before you make statements. Anyway, speculate away. I'll try to sit this one out.
DMG,
It's disingenuous to say my speculation is based on "nothing." We know that extraneous steroid use-in this case estrogen-can shut down the body's own capacity to make estrogen. If one takes regular intervals of extraneous estrogen from say the age of 13 to the mid 20's, what does the science say happens when this steroid use ceases?
The current speculation that vaccines-which provoke the primary mechanism of action, i.e., the body-cause autism gives no indication how extreme mental capabilities may occur in some autistics.
So when we contrast the current hysteria of the use of steroids in professional sports with the millions of females ingesting steroids on a daily bases, one can't help but wonder what is being hidden?
Do you have any idea what 10-15 years of daily steroid use will do to a female, her reproductive system and the children she may have during or after usage of such steroids?
Thordaddy,
"We know that extraneous steroid use-in this case estrogen-can shut down the body's own capacity to make estrogen."
Actually we know that there is a well established feed back mechanism that modulates production, not shut down the capacity to produce. Here is a brief and adequate enough overview. There's more detail, but I think this will do. Pay attention to the regulation section.
But that's all beside the point. I want to know how you get from the pill to autism. Take me through your thought process.
"The current speculation that vaccines-which provoke the primary mechanism of action, i.e., the body-cause autism gives no indication how extreme mental capabilities may occur in some autistics."
I'm sorry, I don't know what you are trying to say here. Could you reword?
"So when we contrast the current hysteria of the use of steroids in professional sports with the millions of females ingesting steroids on a daily bases, one can't help but wonder what is being hidden?"
You understand that although steroids have a common chemical structure based on cholesterol, they don't all have the same function. This is a fascinating area of science.
"Do you have any idea what 10-15 years of daily steroid use will do to a female, her reproductive system and the children she may have during or after usage of such steroids?"
Actually yes, I do. He's an 11 year old well adjusted and healthy boy. He has 3 cousins who are also very healthy and well adjusted. But seriously, there are millions of women who are previous OCP users with healthy children, who are NOT autistic.
OK, Thordaddy. I understand why you might have concerns. You don't understand the mechanism of action, metabolism, regulation etc. This is mistrust of something that is unknown to you.
Give me a plausible mechanism of action.
After pondering why so many folks believe in conspiracy theories, and watching the current debate by the lay-public over the cause of Autism, and the mistrust of vaccines I concluded that I really don't know what makes y'all tick. I can't dismiss it as some kind of group psychosis, like some of my colleagues have. Seriously. But think this article gives me some insight. It's about the feeling of losing control.
Take me through your thought process.
rotflmbao...,
That's going to take a while Doc. I've been watching this catholic recruitment meme for a minute now, and have yet to come across anything even remotely approaching "mechanism".
It's catchy though, and for bibtard believers, it ties together unfounded papal dogma from the 1930's with a current medical mystery afflicting the families of many of these people.
This one is pure papal monkey chow...,
I tell you what mang, when I first came across the theory and practice of Internet-enabled memetic warefare, or "disinformation" as a warmaking tactic with a digital propagation vector in about 1988-89 - I had no idea just how far it would go and the extent to which it would begin to pervade the public awareness.
As you know, this was a long time ahead of the world wide web.
Yeah CNu.

The crew of the Titanic continues to insist the greatest ship ever built cannot sink, even as it slips into the dark cold North Atlantic. They feign confidence as they hurl accusations of "conspiracy theory" ... at those who dare acknowledge the gaping hole in the hull of the Plantation.
DMG says,
"Actually we know that there is a well established feed back mechanism that modulates production, not shut down the capacity to produce... But that's all beside the point."
Exactly... I 'll agree that my wording was less than precise, but the main thrust was clear. Extraneous estrogen introduced into the body reduces the body's need to produce estrogen.
With prolonged and extensive use of extraneous estrogen, the body's ability to restore normal estrogen levels for the proper gestation of a child is relatively unknown.
"I want to know how you get from the pill to autism. Take me through your thought process."
First, I don't trust anything a self-evident liberal has to say. To say one is a liberal doctor or a liberal Christian is to say one is a liberal.
It is because liberals can assert no truths that a liberal doctor's "facts" are automatically suspect.
This is most evident in the abortion debate where doctors--of all people who could tell us when a human being comes to be--cannot do so. And this self-professed uncertainty means that we can just kill it. What is the rationale to that stance?
Now to the harder stuff. These are the things that have me speculating on the cause for autism being widespread abortion and "pill" use.
First, it just seems entirely normal to suggest that reproductive-altering steroids may cause "abnormal" children.
Second, the fact that no one has speculated such wreaks of liberal politics.
Third, there is the correlation between mass use of population control and the relatively new medical phenomenon of autism.
Fourth, and far more speculative, are the contradictory attributes of the general autistic--brain dengeneracy and brain hyperactivity--being analogous to the general effects of steroid use.
In relation to the above is the inadequacy of the vaccine explanation in accounting for these extreme mental capabilities found in some autistics.
There is also the understanding that autism is genetic with the vaccines triggering the disease. Yet, it is as easily speculated that autistic are born from a damaged reproductive environment due to prolonged and extensive steroid use.
Now, if it is your stance that widespread use of abortion and the "pill" have not had a negative impact on females who have used such methods then you must explain the dying population and increased infertility?
Clearly, prolonged and extensive (daily... and for some over a decade or two) steroid use has both damaged and destroy the female reproductive system, i.e., the mechanism of action
And so it is beyond comprehension to think that no one has speculated on a link between widespread abortion and "pill" use--with the understanding that a damaged growth environment can produce a damaged child--as the possible cause of autism.
Yet, it is not incomprehensible at all when one recognizes that we live under the liberal orthodoxy where "doctors" are the most prolific killers of human life.
Maybe we can add accomplice to autism to the litany?
Lastly, DMG asks?
"Give me a plausible mechanism of action."
The general autistic shows both mental degeneracy and extreme mental capability. The current medical consensus is that autism is genetic and triggered by the "environment." As is consistent with evolutionary theory, the environment directs the evolving organism. In the case of autistic, it is the mother's womb that is the primary "mechanism of action" as it/she directs the general evolution of the child.
If in the preceding decade "she" had done tremendous altering of the "mechanism of action" then it is highly probable that such altered "mechanism of action" would evolve said child in an "abnormal" way.
You though... Will you assert that widespread abortion and "pill" use CANNOT be the cause of autism?
What do you think causes it if not a damaged "mechanism of action?"
Is it genetics or just the compromise between liberal mothers and liberal doctors?
DMG,
When the medical profession says that autism is genetically-based with an environmental catalyst, it is merely reiterating Darwinism 101.
The problem with Darwinism 101 is the medical profession's knowledge that higher life can direct the evolution of lower life. This apparent refutation of Darwinism 101 actually may show that doctors and mothers are the real environment catalyst for the emergence of autism.
Thordaddy,
Come on now. Lay down partisan stuff for a bit and just talk OK. I don't think we need this to have a conversation.
"First, I don't trust anything a self-evident liberal has to say. To say one is a liberal doctor or a liberal Christian is to say one is a liberal."
I'm not even sure where that came from.
"First, it just seems entirely normal to suggest that reproductive-altering steroids may cause "abnormal" children."
Actually there are millions of women who have had children after the pill who have not had autism.
So far it seems like you just guessed at this. That's fine. Your last post suggested you had something more concrete.
"Clearly, prolonged and extensive (daily... and for some over a decade or two) steroid use has both damaged and destroy the female reproductive system, i.e., the mechanism of action"
This is just baseless. Sorry, but it is. Look, I know you are a laymen, and don't know much about medicine or reproductive endocrinology, so I'm going to give you a break and not beat you up over this. But using your logic I could say the same thing about wearing tight jeans. It makes no sense.
I'll give you a homework assignment, maybe it will help you find a plausible link. Go on Medline if you have it (or Google Scholar). Look up articles about the mothers of autistic children. If there is a significant correlation between OCP usage and autism we'll talk more. Otherwise I don't think you can make an argument about a link here.
Thordaddy,
"The problem with Darwinism 101 is the medical profession's knowledge that higher life can direct the evolution of lower life. This apparent refutation of Darwinism 101 actually may show that doctors and mothers are the real environment catalyst for the emergence of autism."
I'm sorry. Are you really telling me that YOU know more about evolutionary theory than I do? Because from the looks of it you know very little.
DMG,
It doesn't take more than a layman to understand the fundamental truth claims of evolutionary biology.
First, the evolutionary mechanisms are universal and apply to all living things at all time from the OOL (Origin of Life) until now. Second, these mechanisms are represented most objectively by Darwinian Theory which claims the evolution of life to be a process of naturally selected random mutations. In short, the environment directs the evolution of the life form via communication with said life form's mutating genes.
On the more recent front, Darwinian Theory has been upgraded to MET or Modern Evolutionary Theory. This theory states evolution of all biota to be a process of descent with modification. Meaning, "we" started out as an original life form and then modified over time. The use of modification has serious implications that distinguish it from Darwinian Theory.
And so the two key understandings that seperate MET from Darwinian Theory are in the idea that the entire biota springs from the OOL (Origin of Life) and the diversity in life form is due to "modification." The key to understanding that term is understanding that higher life forms can now direct the evolution of lower life forms. Meaning, higher life forms (man) now replaces "nature" as the primary mechanism of evolution.
Birth control, whether it be in the use of abortion or the "pill," is an example of MET.
When the medical establishment says that autism is a genetically-based disease that is triggered by environmental factors it is merely parroting Darwinian Theory. Meaning, the medical establishment is telling us that autism is nothing more than a result of the evolutionary process.
Now, why this same medical establishment wishes to deny the potential exercise of MET wherein higher life forms (doctors and mothers) direct the evolution of lower life forms (zygotes) is self-evident.
So again I ask...?
Are you asserting that widespread use of the "pill" and abortion CANNOT be the cause of autism?
Can you even say this when no plausible explanation has been given for the cause of autism either by the mothers of autistics or by the medical establishment itself?
Will you even concede that the extensive and prolonged use of the "pill" in combination with the use of abortion can damage or destroy the female reproductive system?
If you are so knowledgeable about all things biological then why can you not tell us when a human life becomes a human being?
You see DMG, when your politics interfere with your "doctoring" then your politics become not just relevant, but primary.
Why can't autism be caused by drugs and surgical procedures that alter the reproductive system?
Will you answer any questions, doc?
Thordaddy,
You need to review Darwin's Theory of Evoloution.
Sure I'll answer questions. But you have to lay off the verbosity. (Seriously you sound like Oswald Bates). By the way you are getting some of your terms wrong (use exogenous rather than extraneous--you'll sound better in an argument).
Saying that Autism has a genetic component isn't "parroting" anything. Simply put, some children may be predisposed to the condition.
Again Thordaddy, my politics have nothing to do with it. I'm only interested in what the literature has to say about this topic. It would be a much nicer discussion if you'd just admit (as I've already figured out) that you don't have a clue about what you are trying to discuss. Not the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis, not steroid hormone metabolism, not genetics, not embryology, not neurophysiology, developmental biology, pharmacology, should I go on? You've merely pulled the pill out of your ass and (like everything else I've seen you talk about here) somehow connected it to abortion and now Autism. If you would have just said you were making this shit up in the beginning, we might have had a better more fruitful discussion about how the pill and female reproductive systems work before and after exogenous steroid hormone use. Maybe then you could have come to a more reasoned conclusion.
Just give me a plausible mechanism of action that could be explained by previous OCP usage or previous abortions? And what happened to your homework assignment? Did you find any connections in the literature? Did you look?
DMG,
The problem with your "expert" advice is that in this particular case--what is the cause (mechanism of action) for autism--you merely revert to the default position. Namely, the "cause" of autism is Darwinian Theory.
One sees this same reflex in the homosexual debate. The "cause" of homosexuality is a genetic predisposition triggered by an environmental catalyst.
So your expertise, as it pertains to autism, tells us that something in the environment (mechanism of action) selects this random mutation and this process manifests autism in human beings.
Meaning, you are really telling us nothing more than the basics of evolutionary theory.
The problem with reverting to Darwinian Theory as the "cause" of autism is that the "environment" that represents the mechanism of action is directed by higher intelligence, i.e., directed by man.
In short, "man" is now the primary mechanism of action displacing an unconscious "nature" as the primary mover of evolution.
So in your attempt to bog us down in details in which you are unquestionably superior, you are missing the bigger point. Or maybe no...?
Because as you seem to imply that my speculation--which is not just warranted, but necessary--is "nothing," you are also unwilling to state emphatically that widespread use of extraneous steroids and abortion can potentially cause autism.
I say extraneous because exogenous is redundant when one talks of steroids. On the other hand, extraneous describes the nature of these ingested steroids as they are non-vital and wholly unnecessary unless one is attempting to alter the female reproductive system. Why one would seek to alter what Darwinian Theory says ought to be can only be explained by MET and the desire of higher intelligence to direct the evolution of lower intelligence.
So the question is now whether doctors and mothers are the cause of autism through there extensive and daily ingestion of steroids and the use of abortion?
Can you, as good doctor, say this speculation is unwarranted? If so, why?
Thordaddy,
You are attempting to have your wild guess accepted as plausible reasoned hypothesis. But the problem is that you REALLY don't have ANY idea about any of this stuff do you? Not even the correct terminology. The word is exogenous, not extraneous. Or perhaps you believe that you'll prevail by sheer number of words you can write on this thread.
You've wasted enough of my time. I'm realizing why there are so few with any real knowledge on these blogs. The level of ignorance is mind-numbing. Verbiage does not equal depth of knowledge. But it's a blog you are free to spew anything online, right or wrong.
DMG,
Saying "exogenous steroid" use is redundant. Steroids, by definition, are applied from without. Extraneous, on the other hand, describes the nature of these steroids as they are non-vital and unnecessary. Afterall, why would a female need to alter her reproductive environment in order to not get pregnant? So please, quit telling me to be redundant as opposed to being truthful.
Only in the liberal worldview would speculating that doctors and mothers may be responsible for the disease of autism via the prolonged and extensive use of the "pill" and abortion to be a "wild guess."
This "wild guess" assertion is really just a psychological denial of the real understanding that a child evolved by an altered mechanism of action (an altered growth environment) may be "altered" in the real world.
And so the liberal is left to answer, "What is the 'wild guess?'"
Do humans, including doctors and evolutionary biologists, NOT in many ways direct evolution thereby representing the primary mechanism of action? Is it not truth that birth control is MET in action?
If you, by virtue of your professional knowledge, recognize that Darwinian Theory is incomplete because MAN can now direct evolution then don't you as a doctor become the primary mechanism of action for evolution?
If this is the case, and there is ample evidence to suggest MET as man-directed evolution, then is it not plausible that you (meaning the medical profession) and mothers across the world may be responsible for the cause of autism through your utilization of modern evolutionary theory which suggests intelligent "modification?"?
Can autism be a side effect of man-directed evolution?
Step up doc and answer the big questions?
Do doctors direct evolution via knowledge of MET?
Can an altered growth environment produce an altered child?
How can an environmentally triggered mutation show both deleterious and transhuman effects?
Why is the use of the "pill" and abortion NOT a possible cause of autism?
Come on doc... Tell us what causes autism.
Thordaddy,
I'm beginning to believe I'm having an online discussion with someone who is clearly not well.
"Saying "exogenous steroid" use is redundant. Steroids, by definition, are applied from without."
Where do I begin? By definition? First let me ask you if you have any understanding of the words redundant, steroid or...well definition? It's quite obvious you don't, as steroid hormones are normally synthesized in vivo from cholesterol in both the gonads and the adrenal glands. Exogenous (say it with me ex-o-gen-ous, and is the correct terminology) steroids synthesized from another biologic source may be given in pill, intramuscular, intravascular or topical form. Please do yourself a favor and stop writing about topics you really don't understand. You just sound even more ignorant than usual.
Now getting back to the pill and autism. That connection is your wild guess, and I've asked many times for you to give a plausible explanation. However, to my dismay I was not only dazzled by your profound ignorance of all things biological, but also by your logorrhea. You only want me to say that it's possible, so you can continue on with your nonsensical blabbering. I won't.
I'm finished wasting my time with you. I gave you another chance, but instead of doing a bit of research and putting some thought into it this subject you tried to connect it to your obsession with abortion.
Nobody understand the underlying cause of autism. Don't add to the hysteria by spreading your ignorance.
I don't know fellas. Is it really that deep?
A daily dose of a birth control steroid either:
a.) Has no prolonged impact on a woman's reproductive system
or
b) Impacts a woman's reproductive system in ways we do no yet completely understand.
Doesn't the well-documented side-effects and the fact that the incidence of autism has increased from 1/10,000 before widespread use of the pill to 1/166 today, cause one to reassess every toxin a woman puts in her system?
DV,
I think I know the reason you don't have many physicians or scientists who stay around for long. It's actually PAINFUL to read all of these fallacious statements from people who have little or no knowledge of the subject, and don't have the decency to admit it. On a blog like this the village idiot's opinion is given the same weight as the professors. And all that accomplishes is further dumbing down of our society. If it stopped at the blog I wouldn't mind. But it seeps into the clinic, and I end up wasting time I could spend with another patient battling this ignorance. It's all fine here, but when a child requires an emergency surgical airway as a result of her not receiving the proper vaccinations the novelty wears off. Now we are listening to conjecture from dimwitted Hollywood blonds about this subject rather than the scholarship of Neurologists who spend their entire career with actual patients. So to me, yeah it is that serious.
Doc,
As one of the highest value correspondents I've been privileged to encounter online - I feel your pain wrt the scientific particular 110%.
Being pitted against village idiots (winged monkeys) is some rank, stank, and dank shyte that really detracts from the possibilities for emergent discourse.
If the differences are indeed existential, there's no point whatsoever in either going round and round, or, stooping gently to ease the ignorance of an unreachable and unteachable nullity.
That said, there is enough history and well-documented malfeasant behavior by members of the medical profession in the 20th century - driven by ideology and the profit motive - to warrant a fairly high degree of suspicion on the part of consumers of medical industrial products and professional services.
I surely wish it was otherwise, particularly given the exceptionally high esteem in which healers were once held within the system of orthodox belief and practice, a system whose hierophants in most remote antiquity were known as "theraputae".
Sadly, that essential trust has been irrepairably broken.
It's not on you make heroic efforts to bridge the gap, however, I think that if you step away from the scientific premises bracketing medical practice, and view the schism in the light of the political and economic contexts in which medicine is practiced, it becomes very easy to understand peoples' doubts and mistrust.
Having spent ample time, on and off over the last 8 years around healthcare as a professional services provider in IT - I'm very familiar with many of the institutional and industrial issues by which the healthcare vertical is itself afflicted.
The medical industrial complex suffers from many of the same problems as public education in America.
DMG,
The "expert" rebuttal is a sight to behold.
The problem with your position is that there is no reason I need to argue within your realm of "expertise."
The fact is, YOU do not know the cause of autism and so speculating about its cause is natural and a result of evolution per your accepted paradigm.
Yet, YOU do know the "cause" of autism in the most particular way.
Autism, like everything else pertaining to life, is a result of Darwinian evolution.
But what does this "expert" opinion really tell us...?
Nothing!
Autism is just as likely caused by MET, i.e., Modern Evolutionary Theory.
In MET, the mechanism of action is "modification."
Recognizing what this inherently means, it is self-evident that the use of abortion and the "pill" are just some of tactics of directed evolution used by the "experts."
So the question that arises pertaining to the evolutionary "cause" of autism, is whether the evolutionary mechanism of action is an unconscious nature (Darwinian Theory) or a conscious intelligence (Modern Evolutionary Theory).
Through all your babbling, you've never once asserted the total implausibility (example of redundancy) of autism being caused by an altered growth environment (intelligently altered mechanism of action) which was the result (directed evolution) of prolonged and extensive use of the "pill" and/or abortion.
Why not?
Because the radical autonomist likes to hide the fact the he may be an accomplice in causing autism through his total belief in Modern Evolutionary Theory.
