This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Does anyone know if there's any correlation between the birth control pill and MS? I've heard something about it before and just started looking into it a bit and just read they think they might be related because the prevelance of MS increased over the years from the introduction of the pill?

When I was diagnosed, I had just gone back on the birth control pill after having my first child ( around when she was a year, I also had just weaned her and was going back to work (stressful) so it could have been a number of things.) However, I had my second daughter 10 months ago and am weaning her and thinking of going back on the pill again, so needless to say, I'm a little worried. Does anyone believe the pill is safe or not for women with MS?

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks!

I was on the pill (dianette) for many years and I actually got more symptoms when stopping it. So I reckon the pill actually helped my MS. (well dianette did anyway...don't know about the others)

I've never been on the pill and still wound up with MS...

never been on the pill and still MS.
