Does the Birth Control Pill have a long term effect on womens' mindset?

[synch]

I gather that one of the drugs often used in the Pill is an estrogen with an added ethinyl group. From memory, drugs with ethinyl groups were typically designed to attach/react chemically to the receptor, as opposed to the usual simple reversible binding. Does that mean that over a decade or so of taking it, there is an accumulative effect ? Presumably the molecule crosses the blood-brain barrier .

What specific pill are you talking about?

Also I think most drugs taken orally has to pass the BBB.
