Abstract
Prior OCP exposure reduces the risk of diagnosis of endometriosis in parous women but increases it among nulliparous women; these associations appear unaffected by fertility status. An increased risk of endometriosis diagnosis seen in women reporting early noncontraceptive OCP use may explain some of the positive OCP risk seen in nulliparous women.
