Happy 52nd birthday to the birth control pill! The pill has been named the most important scientific advance of the 20th century, and 52 years after gaining FDA-approval, the pill is still one of the most popular birth control methods around the world and here in the US.

There is nothing wrong with your pill pack Emma! Read More...
