I have friends with ovarian cancers. They were put on birth control to regulate their hormones in prep for surgery and chemo. One had her ovaries removed and uses hormonal birth control as an estrogen regulator and replacement.

Thanks for that. Yes, there may well be various off-book uses for meds. This one is likely even on-book. I appreciate the voice of science that comes from you!

One of the things that pisses me off about the pharmacists demanding "conscience" objections. 14% from the Guttmacher Institute study. Second link with charts here

I've seen a study that was 1/3 of all women on hormonal BC were using it for reasons not related to contraception, but cannot find the study to link.
