⚠️ Almost 200 women died from ectopic pregnancies from 2020–2025 — double the previous six years — with steeper increases in abortion ban states.
💊 After nearly a year of silence, the FDA now acknowledges the estrogen patch shortage, blaming demand — not supply — while almost 20 formulations remain affected.
