ladies - pill without period, yes or no? (1 Viewer)

[La La]

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?

[oh shit]

where does all the blood go to? the sky?

 

[oh shit]

oh

About half the women enrolled in studies of Lybrel dropped out, said Dr Daniel Shames, a deputy director in the FDA's drugs office. Many did so because of the irregular and unscheduled bleeding and spotting that can replace scheduled menstruation

 

[Yurn!]

 

[La La]

oh

that spotting business is so feckin annoying. but i think with this one it stops soon after or something, then you pretty much dry up like a lakebed in the sun!!!!!!1

 

[oh shit]

fffffuck that
imagine a pill that halted my regular nocturnal emissions... heck no.

 

[Squiggle]

Definitely a no for me. The pill is evil.

Hormone levels in drinking water are rising - linked with decreasing sperm counts and 'feminisation' in males. The full extent of the environmental and genetic damage isn't clear yet but it's looking pretty bad so far.

Of course it is a personal choice, but like anything else it's important to look at the bigger picture before making a decision.

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.

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Most of the roughly 12 million American women who take birth-control pills do so to prevent pregnancy.

Ehh.

as regards the feministaion of males and decreasing sperm counts, pseudo-estrogens which are used as plasticisers in packaging are a far bigger culprit than hormone from the pill. Most countries dont completely re-cycle drinking water as of yet...

No, this has nothing to do with homosexuality. The levels of female hormones in water are causing physical and hormonal 'feminisation', fish with both sets of reproductive organs instead of being male, changes in the male/female balance, "moobs"

Agreed. But should we add to the problem?

The problem is that the hormones are getting into the food chain. Growth hormones have been banned for use in farm animals in Europe in 1989 because of the knock-on effect that they had when consumed.

just give up sex and all your problems are solved!
