Good for you sistren. Take care of your body and it will take care of you.
Peace
I see more and more women using the IUDs now. It's weird because a while ago that was the worst form of birth control on the market but now a a good percent of women are using it.
You probably won't find a clear answer to this question anywhere. But drinking alcohol and taking any medication can decrease it's effectiveness or have the opposite effect of increasing the amount of drug in the body which will basically making you feel sick.
As for me. . . I used to get Depo shot and I used to get all the side effects. . . Mood swings. . heavy bleeding. All that. It was just a bad experience. My experience with the pill was ok. The only side effect I experienced was weight gain. But I don't think I'll ever go back on birth control. It's best to just use a condom and leave it at that.
Exactly,the side effects to the pill were kicking my ass and I was getting sick constantly.I couldn't do it anymore
Some very eye opening comments here.
I have always used condoms with my ladies- but they have burst a few times
Fortunately, they were cool about taking the morning after pill
Ladies, have you had any adverse effects to this? What measures would you take after a split condom if you are opposed to popping pills?

THE M A P
I can NOT take it. I would NOT take it.
When I was younger, my doctor wanted to put me on one to regulate my period. I didn't have any acne or anything, but it was just to help regulate it. Now that I'm older, I'm happy I never did and will continue not to. I stick with good ole' condoms with my current guy, cause it's just not worth it with all those side effects...
To regulate it, I just started to manage my eating habits better, exercise and watch my sleeping habits. Sure enough, once I got into a good routine, my menstrual cycle regulated itself. I know it took a while to get there, but it was better than adding some foreign substance into my body. And, the trip part is I know TONS of women that eat organic foods and don't believe in taking any kind of cold and cough medicines because of what is in them...BUT, they take birth control pills

THE MORNING AFTER PILL IS LIKE A MINI ABORTION!!!
My best friend did it and was in bed for two days.... Not gonna happen for me....

Well that's way different. The BC is just hormones that are found in your body naturally for the most part....Cold medicine is something totally different.
Those side effects are troublesome to me...except for the last two I experience those symptoms on a daily basis and I'm not on birth control. In fact when I was on the pill I felt great.
It was on that damn Depo that I felt weird- didn't want to have sex.
My cousin is studying to be a nurse and she said she don't want no type of female birth control at all because of how it fuck with your system. Said she'd rather count her days of fertilization.
The Morning After Pill is not a mini abortion. The abortion pill contains mifepristone. That kills the fetus. Standard MAP's contain increased dosages of estrogen (to stop ovulation) and progestin (kills sperm and prevents fertilization). If there already was a implantation of an egg on the vaginal walls, the MAP would not kill the fetus. It's too late at that point. Estrogen and Progestin alone are not powerful enough to do that.

I totally forgot to mention that!!! That happened to me also on the pill and on the Depo. I didn't wanna have sex at all. It sucked because it was all of sudden and the person I was with thought that it was his fault. Just a bad situation
Ladyscorpio, the pill at one time was looked upon as one of the greatest accomplishments by the medical community. When used properly it controlled births, and for many women was also used regulate their cycles.
It also freed men from the need for condoms. Wow natural sex! Until the pill, condoms were the most effective means of birth control available. But they weren't good for everyone. A percentage of women had allergic reactions to the materials manufacturers used to produce comdoms. So the pill became the greatest option and stimulus for what was then the sexual revolution. Contraception creams were a big mess and oral sex was out of the question once they were brought into play.
Unfortunately nothing is perfect, your experence is proof of that. (Too bad you suffered from what may have been a simple mistake.) Plus the pill doesn't protect against STDs. More of a concern today than getting pregnant.
The other options for men aren't that appealing either. Many a man became a father using coitus interruptus and the only other option for men requires surgery. The options available for men at present are not very appealing, especially for young men.
So ladies don't think men are insensitive to what women go through to protect yourselves. We know more than you think.

yeah man! in high school when we all went to cheerleading camp (yep cheerleading camp bring it on!) most of us would get our period during that week. u around other females and ur cycles become similar....
if you're gonna use BC i suggest the ring...put it in for 3 wks and take it out 1 wk, then replace it.
and yeah they have the morning after at most local pharmacies too...its over the couter now no prescription necessary.
I had a broken condom scare once and took that. Never again. That shit made me so sick I can't even describe. Plus ever since I took it, the sun feels like its going to kill me dead. Before I used to stay working in the hot sun and it didn't even phase me. I would just advise refraining from taking that unless absolutely necessary. I have met women here in the states that have taken it many many times. Not good.
i don't think its for everyone. this one chick i was with, broken condom
too. she said it was the most painful periods she has ever had. lasted days
too.
i also know a couple chicks who are in long distance relationships and take
it as a way to bring their periods so as to not have the period interrupt when
its their man's visiting time.
