Farkinell. I've never liked the idea of taking medication for the sake of it, but as pretty much all of my mates seem to have been on the pill since they were 16 or so, I had no idea it was so hasslesome.
A mate with two kids told me she had the new style coil, and although it hurt as much as labour having it put in, she's really happy with it.
Perhaps Putney Bloke will lose interest, and then I won't have to worry about it.
Edit: Louche, my email is "oohandbag" at the old hotmail.

Herbs, I think that's an appalling way to be treated and agree with Physic that you should complain.
I don't know whether it would be of any sort of consolation to you, but you might make a bit of a difference to how others are treated - even if the incompetence is to continue, it might at least be mitigated by people acting at though they're sorry rather than 'blaming' the patient, ffs.

I guess if you're willing to go bareback in the front then it's just getting preggers that's the issue and not the bad AIDS, so bum fun seems a easy solution.

That's not the half of it. I've already written an official complaint about other stuff they did. It's been gr9.

I've heard a lot of horror stories, be they emotional or physical side effects... people in hospital with heart palpatations struggling to breathe, women walking out on marriages and their family, because they don't fit in their lives anymore. In my experience taking synthetic hormones can be fatal, yet the doctorbs in the most part, brush it off like lint. Maybe the reason more women don't tell their doctors that they are having 'pill trouble' and cause a mass outcry is because they have all topped themselves.
Somehow I felt it wouldn't be a popular complaint here, hence never coming forward to share my experience with you guys. Like Scrawny, I'm shocked by the 5/6 majority so far. The pill is supposed to give women a more convenient sex life with more equality with men's attitude to sex; shame it destroys libido and most other areas of your life in the process. I wonder how many doctors are on Microgynon 30?
If you want a safe and less soul destroying birth control, try the fertility awareness method. If there is any sign of libido, then you can chart your cycle to know when you have ovulated and then have as much sticky birth-control free sex as you like. Before the ovulation point I think condoms are the best option, but definitely not synthetic shite of any kind. Trojans are apparently good if you are hung like Kong.
Thanks for your kind words. I hope normal returns soon and I may come to a meat and can get completely drunk on my first glass of wine in about a year.
Herbs, I'm sorry to hear about your 'troubles'. Write a letter of complaint for sure, or put the firey dog shit through their door. The way they treated you was absolutely disgusting and the person who told you off should be struck off in my opinion.

How long after you came off the pill was that?
Everything just slowly returned to normal over the next couple of months. I'd definitely recommend trying other methods - we used the 'persona' thing and condoms, so still got a bit of bareback fun, but without risk of pregnancy. You have to be kind of responsible about it and make sure you *do* use the condoms when it tells you you should, but for me it was way better than being on the pill. If you're bored and unhorny I'd say give up the pill for a bit... your quality of (sex) life will almost certainly improve.

Seconded. The one and only time I tried the pill, I was given Microgynan. It is evil in a blister packet. Do not accept it.

Erm there is always the risk of pregnancy, whatever form of contraception you use. Failure rates just vary depending on the method.
Whilst I am sorry for all the women on the pill here who had a bad time just to add a little balance I was on Depo (the injection) on and off for about 7 years and I had absolutely no problems at all, no weight gain, no moods, no periods. It was fantastic frankly, maybe I was one of the few lucky ones but I'd go back on it with no hesitation. If you haven't had problems with the pill in the past then it might be worth considering.
Also VP as a side note, I take it you've both already had tests etc to ensure you're both clean enough to give up condoms?

Sorry, BM. My dance about having to take the fucking huge natural supplements as a corrective measure is even better. When the libido returns I may even get my b for boobs out for it.
To be honest though, Misc has suffered because of all this pill stuff a lot too. It may be the woman taking it, but it is a little naive to think that your partner isn't going through the ringer with you.

Sounds promising. I've only got another few months on Microgynon though, so might just stick with it until then, for all the asexual boredom at least it does what it says on the tin.

When you do the laundry once in a while and your own ironing, negotiations may be entered into.
Stop chateing on VP's important thread.

would they be better ?
I have the jab and think it's the best thing that's ever happened to me (apart from Mr Duck). I would only recommend it for someone who gets along okay with the pill though, as if it doesn't suit you you're stuck with the effects for 3 months (depo-provera) or 1 month (the other one). Try the pill first if you can - if you have no problems, consider switching if you feel like it after a while. I have no periods: no pain, no mess and no runaway hormones unless I miss a jab.

Well, nothing's been near my mimsy except M&S cotton gussets for the past 6 years, so I don't think I need to be prodded and poked.
Do people really ask this of new shags?

there's no outward sign for chlamydia, and chicks can carry it about giving it dudes without knowing that they have it. When I had it, it was pretty fucking obvious something was wrong.. 'burning sensation' didn't do it justice. And I sometimes get pains that I never used to get, around the top of my thighs, even though the thing has cleared up now. Be careful out there kids!

first bit edited because it's really noneofmybusiness.
I don't ask I just refuse to sleep with them condomless until tests have been had.

also, to counter these stories about the pill, I went out with a piece of ass that got way more horny on the pill than off it. I mean, she was a fucking nut most of the time, but in the sack, she was like an animal. Hope that helps, VP!

Are you a boy? Because I thought chlamydia was a bigger deal in girls than boys. Which one's gonorrhea?
