ive been on birthcontrol(orthotricyclen) for about 2 1/2 years now. im not thinking about going off of it yet, but does any one know if its harmful to your body to take birthcontrol for too long?

Nope, there are no known long-term effects, so don't worry.

hope it's not too harmful, i've been on it for 6 years. :-) i'm a medical student and i haven't heard anything about it being harmful except for people at risk for a bloot clot (it increases risk of blood clots in your legs) and for smokers, and women over 35. smoking and the pill don't go well. my advice would be to quit or cut down if you are a smoker and you are concerned about health effects of the pill.

hope that helps.
