Being off the pill is *great*. My hormones are out of control! I kind of want to hump everyone and everything. I’m having recurring daydreams about being ravaged by strangers. I don’t really need to start taking birth control again, do I? What’s the harm in bad skin and the constant threat of babies when compared to being horny all the damn time? Seems like a no brainer to me. Hey, wanna make out?
I don’t really have anything else to say today. I could tell you a highly inappropriate anecdote about early morning fun and why I’m a $2 whore, but then Google might get mad at me. I still haven’t straightened out the “YOU ARE A SUSPICIOUS SITE” stuff, and it makes me sad that people are being told I am a malicious e-villain. I am not anything of the sort.
Today I am wearing heels, and as a result, I’m almost 4’ tall.

I have seen (well, not *me* exactly) great results when switching from the pill to an IUD. Have you looked into that at all?
No cramps, about five minutes a month of spotting, no messy hormones going into your body and the risk involved with that, nothing to forget about and no more babies!! Of course, the vasectomy helps with that, too. We are double insured!
Yay being safe!!
Interesting! I have an upcoming appointment in gynecological wonderland soon – perhaps I shall hold off on taking the pill and do some research!
Now granted, this was many, many, many years ago, but an IUD was the cause of my aunt giving birth to *triplets*… Just saying. Though, I suspect they probably have improved the technology since then. ;)
umm… I wasn’t told that was one of the side effects (remember the vasectomy?) but I don’t think IUD’s are very technological. I understand, without even Googling, that the copper makes your uterus and inhospitable place for eggs to hatch.
Google it!
Maybe IUD’s aren’t for everyone!!
If you’re really on Team No Babies, the vasectomy is the way to go. Costs about $35, takes 15 minutes, hurts for a day or two and then nothing. Plus, you can still blow monster loads. The best part? Ejaculating ten times, and then giving a ‘sample’ to the lab.
“You mean I HAVE to go masturbate now??”
Big fan.
Being on “Team No Babies” myself, I’m actually the in the opposite-side-effect-camp, although with a different hormone altogether.
Yesterday was depo day… and man. Luckily, I was out with Monica, or there might have been some heavy petting going on at Steamworks Trans Continental, last night ;) Don’t worry, I gave her the obligatory warning before we went out…
It’s the weirdest thing — Depo is supposed to be a sexual suppressant. All the side effects (except the water rentention and the weird mood swings at 9 to 10 weeks til the shot) effect me completely opposite to how it’s supposed to. I guess I’m not complaining… Except for that nagging fact that I’m single, and that makes it difficult every 3 months!
I had an IUD over 20 years ago. It was painful to put in. My body rejected it and expelled it a few months later. Thankfully I’ve been off the pill since 1993 when my hubby finally had a vasectomy. He had been wanting to have one a few years earlier but it just seemed so final to me. I finally encouraged him to go through with it a couple of years later. Yeah for team no babies!
I too am on Team No Babies(tubal ligation in 2000) so that’s the safeest you can get.
Not getting laid helps too.
true story.
when are the Team No Babies shirts coming out?!?
To counter the anti-IUD people… (grin) … well, yes, the technology HAS improved in the last 20 years. The most common one isn’t copper, it’s plastic, and while it has hormones, it leaks them into the spot they’re needed (at a much, much lower rate than the pill) rather than making people haywire.
I can’t do hormonal methods — they make me crazy. No, really — we’re talking slash my wrists overdose on sleeping pills style crazy. But my IUD? My IUD is AWESOME. :)
I’m still waiting for my tubal. Stupid “under-30-no-kids-I-don’t-wanna-slice-you” doctors…
