Estrogen, when used with a progestin, can increase the risk of heart disease (such as heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the lungs/legs, dementia, and cancer of the breast/ovaries. The risk for serious side effects may depend on the dose of estrogen and the length of time it is used.

FOR SALE: One 9-mm pistol â and whateverâs left of George Zimmermanâs bankrupt soul. The Florida neighborhood watchman who fatally shot unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in 2012 is putting the killer handgun up for auction â and hoping to fetch at least $5,000. âI am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon,â Zimmerman wrote in his online description of the weapon.
