"i was on cyclafem for many years and would not recommend women use this drug after the age of 44. i got estrogen positive breast cancer at age 50 and i believe it was from being on birth control for 25 years and especially after age 45.  i have a super clean medical history and i did genetic testing and my cancer is not genetic or hereditary in my family.  i wish my gynocologist would have told me about the serious risk for women ages 45-50 taking birth control pills like cyclafem and getting hormonal, estrogen breast cancer."
