Birth Control Pills: 100% Safe
We often get asked: "I'm on the pill. Can I donate?" The answer is a resounding YES.
Hormone Levels
Oral contraceptives contain synthetic estrogen and progestin. These hormones, even if transferred in small amounts, are harmless to a recipient.
Other Women's Health Factors
While the pill is fine, remember that you cannot donate during pregnancy or while breastfeeding (wait 6 months after weaning). But for birth control? Roll up your sleeve!
