I was in graduate school. I had a birth control accident and went to get the morning after pill.

When you put someone on the birth control pill, you block a lot of the ovarian production [of testosterone].

So in my uncertainty, I went to graduate school and there it all happened.

The whole thing reminds me of graduate school seminars, except these people are smart and funny and have something interesting to say.

Beyond a year, we don't know [what happens]. The question is, does the birth control pill imprint on the body a signal to continue making this protein that attaches to the testosterone? If so, these women would have less testosterone.

There's evidence that women may switch methods of birth control or stop using the pill because they think it contributes to weight gain.
