is birth control bad for you?

[jessica129]

If the thought of having daily PMS is exciting to you, then by all means, take it. I'd much rather deal with 5 days a month than 31. Condoms,Plan B, abstinence,death,torture, having the kid anyway > Birth Control.

Which is in many ways the difference between individual experience as well as high- vs low-dose. On my low-dose ring I'm no more PMSy than I was without birth control.

I am no expert in this topic, but am genuinely interested. Tho birth control really doesn't sound too good because it changes woman's progesterone and estrogen hormone and I am not sure if there are any long term effect. But I work in a pharmacy and I have always hear that Plan B doesn't work if you are going to have a long term sexual relationship, sooner or later there are decent chances you will get pregnant. if you prolong the usage of it and rely on it.


most girls goes through abortion because they use think they can rely on Plan B?

So thats whats wrong with my gf.

People cannot soley rely on Plan B unless they're really rich. For one pill it's $50.

It's funny how when you ask on an internet forum, people will always bitch about how bad it is. But talking to women in real life, maybe one in five will have any issues with it at all.

Then again, those whose side-effects result in constant PMS are by definition more likely to be vocal about it...

I had a shitty time with yasmin. That was the one that made me a nut case.

There was a commercial talking about lawsuits for products including Yasmin a few months ago lol. Here's a website. "Sudden Death on Yasmin" is listed as one of the symptoms.

I'm guessing they've fixed the formula since then though.

Or you can just switch from oral to anal every day.

oh right

I was on low-dose ortho-tricyclen (YEARS ago, like from 1994 until 1997) and it worked great in terms of preventing pregnancy but it shot down my libido significantly and I was also moodier while taking it. I was happy when my husband got a vasectomy so we didn't have to worry about that anymore. If I were back in that same situation, I honestly don't know what I'd use for birth control.

I wouldn't say birth control (pill) is bad for you. I think it's important to do a bit of research to choose the right pill and dosage. I took the pill for all of 3 weeks and didn't like the hormonal changes.

If you want an alternative, I recommend the Billing's method, in combination with the use of condoms or abstinence. If you have a high sex drive and find it difficult to control sexual urges, then this alternative may not be for you. BOM is also good for achieving pregnancy (obviously not an issue of course if you are very fertile) and attention to timing can increase the probability of gender (if you'd like to take it that far).

[redbaron]

HA--I did that. (ovulation method) It sucks though because you're not supposed to have sex exactly when your sex drive is highest and you want it most!

Well, true. But, the point is that the Billing's method gives you knowledge about when you are ovulating. The signal is clear. What you do with this information is what makes it successful or not. You choose some other way to express your high sex drive at this point - ie oral, wear a condom or whatever floats your boat. There are many ways you can enjoy sex without penetration.
