Study Explains Potential Failure Of Oral Contraceptives With Obese Women

The reason oral contraceptives are needed at all to keep the fat from reproducing is that overfatness leads to poor vision, preventing their overfat partners (mostly) from making better choices. (here, here and here)
"Researchers have identified a potential biological mechanism that could explain why oral contraceptives may be less effective at preventing pregnancy in obese women, as some epidemiological studies have indicated.

Although conventional oral contraceptives appear to eventually reach the effective blood concentrations needed in the body to prevent conception in obese women, it appears to take twice as long, leaving a "window of opportunity" every month where the contraceptive may not be at a high enough level to prevent a pregnancy."
Some "opportunity."


Get your vision checked.

Prevent contraceptive failure.
