Honestly, the fact that I will not get pregnant is just a happy side bar in my opinion.  I take birth control because my periods don’t come regularly, without bc they will come probably like 4 times a year. While most women think this is a gift from heaven, it’s not. Not having periods is not good for you because there is a build up of gunk in your uterus and it can be cancerous (so my doctor told me). The fact that bc is a contraceptive is a cherry on top.
