A lot of hormones are produced by having a baby, true. But then how about women who are on the BC pill? BC makes sure the body gets tricked, by hormones, into thinking it is pregnant. Maybe the exact composition of the hormones isn't the same, I don't know, and maybe really being pregnant does something else to the body than the BC pill does, but... it kind of makes the theory that pregnancy helps RSD sound a bit weird to me. How would it help if a woman has to suddenly (from one day to the next) stop all her medication. Meds that in some cases have to be brought down gradually, esp. the anti-convulsants who are very detrimental to a foetus.
