Having a Y chromosome, I have no personal experience with The Pill, but I can tell you about my wife's time on it, as well as my personal, spiritual take.

If you suffer from depression, I'd think twice about being on any pill. My wife has mild depression as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder, and BCPs just made everything worse. It also killed her sex drive, the ultimate irony!

From a spiritual perspective, remember what all pills are; a way to convince your body that you are pregnant. To place your body in such a state of belief when in fact a new life is not growing within you is to create a significant disparity between physical and spiritual realities. I can't imagine that this is ever a good or healthy thing.

Also, a personal word of warning; no pill, especially the low dose ones, are 100% effective. My wife was on the low-dose pill (POPs, to be exact) AND nursing kid #2 when kid #3 was conceived. Quite a shock. A pleasant one, but still a shock.
