My friend says she is too old to be on the Contraceptive Pill. When does a woman stop needing to take it?

Question - (2 April 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 2 April 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

One of my friends from work is 26 and she told me today that shes no longer on the pill.

I was like wtf why not, cuz she doesnt have a bf but she does have booty calls or one nights stands etc (i dont judge). And she said cuz she went to the doctor and the doctor took her off because shes too old.

Is there a limit as to how old u can be to be on the pill? because i thought it didnt really matter what age u are.

She's not too old. There's something wrong here - like either the doctor is incompetent (not really that likely), or your friend is lying. Are you sure she's not trying to secretly get pregnant or something?

She's an idiot... 50 is too old, not 26. She needs to get on some other form of B-Control, or enjoy being a single mother.

This doesn't sound right.

At least advise her to use condoms or some form of protection.

fishdish agony auntUnless your friend is postmenopausal she will still be able to get pregnant if she doesn't use protection. The longer one is on the pill, chances of getting cancer are higher? but I don't think a doctor can refuse you for this reason if pills are what you want! She should be using at least a condom so she doesn't get whatever these one night stands might have...maybe you can convince her to get a second opinion with another doctor, either he or her story is fishy.
