When I reminded him I had severe dysplasia in my 20's, and was then in my mid-40's. he still wanted me on that pill. I left him & got a new dr. after that who said i should absolutely never take that drug that increases uterine and ovarian cancer risks by 40%. I always wondered if my previous dr. is just a quack or getting some kind of kickback for pushing that drug? Ladies, beware.
