A member asked:
What is the safest birth control pill there is? i need it to help with ovarian cysts. terrified of side effects. no insurance.

Birth control pills: No health insurance doesn't mean no health care. Check out planned parenthood. Or check out links on my website for low cost, even free, healthcare. All birth control pills have similar risks. Pick lowest dose that controls your pain. Good luck!
