    I would have definitely gotten a second opinion via some internet searching on anything I saw in a commercial long before I talked to a doctor about it.

      Oh, I did do that. I just wouldn’t have looked into it if it weren’t for the advertisement warning.

      I think birth control is in a weird category here though, because it’s (generally) totally elective and there’s a bunch of different kinds that work differently for different people, so it’s probably pretty standard for people to have preferences about it in a way that they probably don’t for various types of, say, cholesterol medication.
