Yeah, I know there's other reasons to take the pill, just havin' a laff.

can i ask how you're finding it? i was interested and asked some questions, and the doctor (not my gp) said it wasn't generally advised unless you've given birth, and also, there's a risk of abdominal perforation.
i am tempted still, although one of the few people i know with the coil was quite violently pukily ill for a day or two after getting it, which isn't selling it.

Hormone levels in drinking water are rising - linked with decreasing sperm counts and 'feminisation' in males.
As for the stopped periods, even without the potential damage to the environment, I really can't see how that would be healthy. We're women, periods are part of that - I certainly wouldn't want to be a guinea pig and find out what the side effects are in 30 years time.
I'm dying to hear what Brian Coniffee has to say about all this
I am child-free and wished I'd got it years ago, they put me off with 'mmm, you've not had kids, it's really not for you'. Bollocks. It's true insertion can be a bit more painful cos the cervix hasn't been stretched, but they give you pesseries to sort this out. Insertion wasn't that bad, a bit pinchy and it took about 30 mins. The cramps afterwards were bad, but not unbearable. Nothing Nurofen, a hot water bottle and a hot whiskey couldn't take the edge off. The cramps were bad the first evening, and then about a week later, but after that I've had nothing.
Do take the afternoon off work though, I asked the Well Woman Clinic if I'd be ok to go back to work after 'Oh yeah!' they said. No fucking way! You really need to put your feet up cos you'll go light-headed for a while.
Yes there are risks - one being your body can reject it and there's a risk of infertility (it's a very low risk but still one you might want to consider). But yeah, I wish I'd have had it years ago, would have saved me a lot of Pill-related side-effects.
yeah but seeing as your whole metabolism is just hormones, enzymes, and science; that's not really the best criteria for writing it all off.
your heart is electrically operated, how about you wire it to a car battery and see what happens...
my granda has a pacemaker. seven kids will do that to you. my granny would have loved the pill.
I wouldn't be freaked out. I'm on Depo (the injection) so I haven't had a period in about 8 years. It's great!it's not on the shelves yet, but just got approval over in the states. no 7 day break stuff here - you just don't bleed when you take this thing. which in theory sounds like a dream - but so so so unnatural that it would kinda freak me out. it could also put the beloved mooncup out of business! thoughts?

There is a natural solution, and it's veggie/vegan friendly
aren't one of the risks of the pill increased risk of stroke? or is that the old version?
this messing with nature thing would make me very nervous.
PS - stop pissing hormones into the water and making me a girl!

but i don't eat plasticIt's the old version and only if you smoke heavily and only if you're over 35.
It's plastic and all the hormones they put in meat that is turning you into a girl.
