ladies!!!

are any of you familiar with ortho-novum and any possible side effects? i've been asked to take part in a clinical trial w/ortho-novum and echinacea.

they'll mostly just be taking blood and urine samples and checking up on my menstrual cycle, so it's not too invasive (they're not trying to see if i'll get pregnant or anything, lol).

i get $1000 if i participate fully for 4 months, so i guess i'm inclinced to do it...the risks don't look very bad and the benifits probably outweigh them, but you ladies know lots and lots about these things, so i thought i'd get your opinions. thanks in advance!

all i have to say is: man! how can i join?!?! I am in desperately need of those $1000... jijijijij

no, seriously, to tell you the truth, i have never heard of it, and I've been in every single bc... is it a new thing?

i am not sure. it's a study at IU/clarian medical center, and they usually are ahead of the game as far as medical studies, so it may be new.

I could be wrong, but I think it's an old thing... one of the first bc pills invented. Probably not prescribed as much anymore.

i just talked to the nurse on the phone and she said it's a new lo-dose version of it. :)

Just blood, urine and menstruation for $1,000? And you're asking us if you should?

lol, that was my reaction! plus they're gonna GIVE me the birth control AND the echinachea...

it sounded to me like they're paying me for a good thing...

So long as it IS echinachea, and not gonorrhoea they give you!
