I am twenty years old. Can I take novelon as daily contraceptive? Will it disrupt my menstrual cycle? I do have a family history of carcinoma. My grandma suffered from breast cancer. Taking all this into consideration should I go for it?

A number of studies suggest that current use of OC?s appears to slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, especially among younger women. But for short courses it does not harm u. Women who use OC?s have reduced risks of ovarian and endometrial cancer. This protective effect increases with the length of time oral contraceptives are used.
