A member asked:
Will taking birth control stunt my growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A risk for teenagers: Many types of birth control contain estrogen, which if started too early in one adolescent years (or earlier) can cause early closure of one's growth plates and thus hinder one's ability to reach their genetic height potential. Thus they should only be taken when prescribed by someone comfortable with these risks. Of course at 38 years of age, this wouldn't be a concern for you :).
