The article leaves a lot to be answered but as a news site, they just want to get the gist of it out there.

What's the testing been like on men over a long term (i.e. 5+ years?), if any.

What are the effects on sperm count if a man decides to get off the BC and wants to have children?

How severe are the cases of mood swings and depression, what is their relation to testosterone levels and how do they relate to the effects of women's BC? Are suicidal thoughts one of the side effects?

Consider me weary.
