I’m doing a research paper on birth control pills. I’m noticing that they only provide you with estrogen and progestern, but not testosterone. in an article i read, it said that there have been studies talking about how lipido is decreased on the pill and that taking the pill for a very long time can actually kill your receptors for testosterone. according to the above information, it seems that you reall need testosterone, although women don’t always know it because it is typically seen as a ‘man’s’ hormone. so is there any thing you could tell me abotu the negative effects of birth control pills on your body and testosterone levesl, or more information on teh importance of testosterone? Thanks, i’d appreciate it
and if you could somehow notify me by email when you respond as well, that wuold be fantastic
