Well, yes... there is that.





I don't think so: Birth Control Pills

I still stand on my claim it isn't good to mess with nature, when it comes to hormones. For guys, all you have to do is look at the side effects of steroids. Better to find some other way. But if you insist, be aware, it CAN mess you up. So can plenty of other medications. Plus, my comment was towards someone who was messed up by Birth Control Pills.

Yes, it can mess you up, just like most other medications. I'm on a medication that helps stabilize my mood that can cause Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (don't click if you're squeamish) in some people. That doesn't mean it hasn't helped thousands of people in other ways. Some people are allergic to penicillin, but that doesn't mean it's not an effect way of treating many ailments.

Also, I'm not really sure what linking the WebMD page about HBC was supposed to do? It lists the side effects on one of the last pages, but also details that they're safe to use by most women - like I said. Some women have negative side effects when taking certain HBCs - but many don't. Making a blanket statement that it's bad to mess with your hormones just isn't true.

There are methods of birth control that mess you up a lot worse than the pill. Depo is one of the ones that can really screw a woman up, if they suffer from the side effects of it, which I did. I had weight gain, a serious decrease in sex drive (At 22 years old, that's not normal. On another note, this is why is it perfect for chemical castration for sex offenders) depression, and that's just the ones that they tell you about. What they don't tell you is that it can cause fertility problems for years after you're off of it. The only benefit is that most women do not get periods while on it, and mild spotting when they're due for their next shot.

If it came down to the pill or depo, I'd pick the pill each and every single time. Unfortunately, I'm one of those .1% that the pill has no effect on, and Depo was my only option until I had to threaten to hold the entire hospital hostage to get my doctor to finally do surgery.

I usually don't get cramps too bad. Mild ones, at worst. However, it does make me tired -- which also hurts my ability to focus (something that is already difficult for me) and makes it harder to be productive. Honestly, sometimes it feels like my ADHD meds aren't even working when I'm on my period. >_> Actually... it feels like the intended effects of said medication no longer work, while all the unpleasant side effects that normally don't hit me too hard all come in full swing. DX So that's pleasant...

Oh, and I get really cranky and emotional, too. Like, to the point where even the smallest things will literally make me cry and somehow make me think about every little thing I hate about myself. Also, I get cranky enough to snap at people over really minor annoyances, and then I feel bad about it, because I'm just some hormonal female bitching at everyone just cuz I'm on my period and no one deserves to deal with that, which then makes me hate myself more. (And it really doesn't compliment all the stuff I've been generally upset and insecure about lately.)

Edit: Oh shit apparently this thread is about birth control now. I feel awkward. :x

It's crazy ridiculous how difficult it is for a woman to get her tubes tied :/

#1: Haha, WebMD. The site that tells you everything and your dog gives you cancer. It's great for listing all potential side effects, but, then, I'm pretty sure if WebMD wrote an article about Kraft Dinner, they would dedicate a page to the dangers of choking on your food and dying as a result, listing each potential death as a separate symptom. Life is full of risk, almost every medication available has potentially lethal side effects given the right conditions. Even then, WebMD's final page does not explicitly tell you not to take these pills. It, in fact, explicitly gives you advice about their use as though they're an everyday common article, like common cold medication.

#2: Technically, painkillers mess with hormones in the brain that indicate when your body is in pain. Should we stop giving people who go into surgery anesthetics? It would sure make hospitals a lot louder.

#3: Millions of women all over the United States and Canada (leave alone the EU) take some form of birth control medication with no severe side effects of any description. Yes, it's true, that if you're a smoker, or given certain genetic predispositions, taking some types of birth control can and will fuck you up. In the same way that my father has an allergy to penicillin that causes a critical shutdown of his ability to breath, which he learned by accident in a hospital once. There are women who have latex allergies that make the usage of most condoms irritating or potentially even harmful to them. This does not mean that one should stop recommending the usage of penicillin as a basic antibiotic, or that one should recommend against Trojan Condoms... Nor does it mean that one should stop recommending birth control. The doctor with eight years of medical school and your medical history will be a far more accurate tool than self-diagnosing on WebMD ever will be.

So, I mean, I'm sorry mate, but in this... You're right, but only in the most flimsy, technical way possible. I mean, it's possible to overdose on H2O too, but that doesn't mean we should stop drinking water.

Anywho, this thread should probably go back to dozens of women lamenting the fact that dicks don't bleed every month. This fact amuses me greatly.

Omg! After I had my son I wanted to get it done, but I was 25 and had two kids, and apparently in the state I lived in there's some unwritten rule that doctors won't perform the surgery unless you're 30 or older. This is supposedly to prevent a woman from changing her mind later on and getting a reversal, but I think that's just bullshit. I had two kids, and I honestly didn't want any more. I was old enough to know that I was done, and I was married so there was no wanting kids with another man in the future. I was 27 when my youngest was born, and I point blank told my doctor if she didn't tie them I was going to do the damn surgery myself. I had to point out to her that I had already gotten pregnant twice on the pill, and that I couldn't get put back on depo because of all the side effects I suffered. She still wouldn't do the surgery, but she did refer me to a doctor who would, which was how I ended getting it done.

I honestly don't mind the actual bleeding nearly as much as I mind not being able to control my own emotions and turning into a sobbing mess at the tiniest of things. >_> But, yeah, we can lament the fact that dicks don't do that either.

omg there is honestly no such law to the best of my knowledge.
There is just this.. unsaid rule that women are having babies later than previous generations (30 years ago, it was rare to see a 30+ woman pregnant) so a lot of doctors actually don't want to perform the surgery until past the mid 30s. It's ridiculous. Also, I personally know some women who do not want to have kids, ever -- and they have been refused the surgery, "in case they change their minds". Men who make that same decision in their twenties don't meet the same brick wall as women do :/ fuck double standards!

Don't get me started on that. My husband could have had his stuff snipped whenever he wanted to but he was afraid of missing work. That was his excuse at least. Really he's just a big damn baby and didn't want any doctors anywhere near that part of his body.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Birth control pill is the best thing to happen for women after the right to vote.

FYI, broaden your research -- there are different kinds of pills, separated by generation. Some are stronger, some lighter on hormones -- but they all prevent up to 99% (approx) of unplanned pregnancies.

Unless your penis-wielder person has a no-precum switch, pulling out is not an effective birth control method.

 

[Sidhe]

Unless your penis-wielder person has a no-precum switch, pulling out is not an effective birth control method.

That and it's only really effective if you do it perfectly each time - and I think it's fair to say that that happens very, very rarely.

Actually, looking into it, subject is pretty controversial and seems to be in favour of withdrawal over even condoms in terms of odds.

Precum is a thing though, and happens before ejaculation / male climax.

I don't trust it as an effective method o_o

Hence why I said it's a controversial subject and "in terms of odds". I'm not disagreeing with you — dunno where you got that notion — just relaying some stuff I found.
