Low-Dose Birth Control Pill

What is it: Generic oral contraceptives contain estrogen and progesterone, which are also used in MHT. In birth control pills, the hormones are in slightly different forms, but they are very similar and can also provide relief from symptoms.

Who is it for: Low-dose birth control is recommended for women experiencing menopausal symptoms while still having menstrual periods. It provides relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms, regulates unruly menstrual cycles, which are common during menopause, and provides contraception. It is not recommended that women who have a history of breast cancer, heart attack or stroke, who smoke, have a history of blood clots in the legs or lungs, or have uncontrolled high blood pressure take oral contraceptives.

What am I getting: 3-month supply of a low-dose birth control pill (1 mg/20 mcg).
