Are there any women in their 40s that are on birth control pills? I was always told that women over 35 shouldn't take them because of higher risk of stroke. I recently became sexually active again and I do not want a baby at this age. He is 6 years younger and wouldn't mind having another baby. I figured this would be a way for me to have control. I also take 12.5mg of zoloft every other day and prescription heartburn medication. Any input would be great. Thank you!
