In my 20s, I was on several different kinds of birth control pills over the years. Here are just a couple examples of bcp formulas that cleared me up and kept me clear no matter what...
formula #1: 1 mg of ethynodiol diacetate and 50 mcg of ethinyl estradiol
formulat #2: 0.4 mg norethindrone and 0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol
The first formula gave me severe morning sickness sometimes.
Anyway, my questions are, looking at estrogen through the RP lens, why did the Pill do such a great job of taking care of my acne? Why does the Pill benefit a lot of women with various hormonal issues?
I have no interest in going back on a pill, I am just wanting to know. As I have been battling my hormonal acne lately no matter what I do, my mind is on this stuff.
