Notes:
Following the statement concerning oral contraceptives containing oestrogens by the Committee on Safety of Drugs in December 1969, many women in England and Wales stopped taking oral contraceptives and it seems highly probable that thousands of unintended pregnancies occurred. By contrast, among 1328 women attending family planning clinics at Norwich and High Wycombe, no more than a handful of women discontinued oral contraception, and no accidental pregnancies occurred which could be attributed to the events occurring in December 1969.
