NEWS: Birth Control is Good for You

Sorry to harsh your buzz dude... I'm a cancer researcher so I guess I don't find it funny. But if you do, knock yourself out.

I suppose your profile explanation of 'I'm retarded' is enough for me... and telling everyone to 'eat shit' certainly fits with your aggressive posting.

I dunno. Coming from a balding guy who calls himself "Johnny," it's a bit hard to take you seriously.

My guess is there are people in your line of work who actually can joke about job-related issues. Maybe you could learn from them.

I really don't care what your profession is. I guess according to your logic, nobody should make any jokes about dead people in case someone here works at a morgue.

And yeah, I do prefer to make silly jokes and to have fun over being rigid.

If I was the type of person who condoned cemeteries, I'd rather have, "He had a lot of fun" on my headstone as opposed to, "Such a serious guy" on it.

Lighten up. Life is far too short to take it so seriously.

I was put on th pill because of Polycystic Ovaries and Endometriosis, and two months later was so depressed I was having anxiety attacks and crying like a baby for no reason, despite my antidepressants (another kettle of fish entirely, but mine works for me). It may've been the only side effect I had, but it was certainly debilitating til I came off it.

Girls, if you're thinking of going on the pill, talk seriously with your doctor about any possible side effects, especially if you happen to be predisposed to any of them.

You weren't on the right pill - my original one made me so depressed, constantly crying, my skin was worse than it had ever been before, I was tired, mean and I completely lost my sex drive - which kind of defeats the point (although no sex you'd think would = no babies so I guess it was doing my job)

My new one is fantastic though, I feel completely normal, my periods are no longer a nightmare and I actually want to fuck my boyfriend (I'd forgotten how high my sex drive actually was, it was kinda scary!) and I haven't noticed any side effects yet.

Most people have to experiment when they first try the pill and give them each a three month trial until they find the right one for them. It takes some people years.

Did they say or find out what chemicals or parts of the pill were causing the lack of cancer and would it work on men?

BC is also very good at stopping weight gain, high blood pressure, varicose veins, stretch marks, incontinence etc. etc.

Wow.
Shame it screws with my hormones so badly I suffer from really adverse effects.

I bow to you, sir!

Sorry to call you a douche... my mother died of cancer so nobody is allowed to make any jokes that are cancer related.

Lighten up or eat shit.

_Jordan_ is happy to hear of anything that reduces cancer risks and loves articles that are presented in a calm a logical manner.

I've had nothing but trouble from birth control. I was on that stupid patch for a minute, and I was very nauseous all the time. I've tried various pills since then, and they all just messed up my stomach and made me sick. I've talked to my sisters about the type they're on, and they told me they had the same problems, but finally found a couple that work for them, one of which I'm going to be giving a try here shortly. If you're having problems with finding a pill, talk to female family members and see what works for them.

Ya. I am curious as to why the first line didn't say 3-12%

And there are other studies out that say the pill can increase certain other cancer risks. Unless this study negates all others--definitively--it's not quite the panacea the article rocks it the fuck on to be.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's super amazing wonderful if these are long term proven benefits on the higher end of the 3-12% spectrum! I just think this article is a bit misleading.

Isn't the new vaccince for women and HPV kinda not overly tested at this point, and has mande a number of girls really ill and totally fucking them up healthwise? Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I think it's the same deal...

I wish they would finish testing a male pill. If there was one, I'd sure as hell take it.

Me too, (safe sex) but in agreement with bitch I'll say rock the fuck on indeed.

At least you don't have to try and find a planned parenthood clinic that WON'T be open after the fact.






Tallboy wishes 2 of his girlfriends would have been on the pill, before.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I promise! There's just so much fear-mongering about everything on both sides of the aisle that I was worried that I'd missed the latest stupid thing some politico said about birth control.

Awesome! This is almost as cool as the recent studies showing that moderate drinking is good for you, too.

It's been tested a lot in Australia, where it was developed. A lot of medicines have some short term side effects, it's about weighing up the risks.

1. Don't self-medicate.

2. It's about how the effects of oestrogen and progesterone on WOMEN.

2.1. Think about it.

3. Men react differently to androgens. For instance, over-exposure to oestrogen has been known to give men pronounced breasts.

4. I've yet to hear about a man getting cervical cancer, but I'm sure it will make the news when it happens

If you haven't tried this yet, try taking it with food and see if that helps (sometimes milk helps too?). Kudos on trying to work it out.

Didn't you write this?? It's full of dark feelings and emotions AND STUFF.

Aww, dude. You're a fucking douche for having these kinds of feelings. Get over yourself.

Lighten up or eat shit.

I don't expect anything less from you really. I could even have agreed with your observation if you were not so derisive, condescending, and boorish. Since you resorted to insulting my appearance, which had nothing to do with my comment to you, allow me now to comment on your Dumbo ears, your incredibly metrosexual faux soul patch, necklace and olive green shirt.

It's no coincidence that you don't list what job you have- if any- since you obviously have no career prospects. You hide behind the hipster veneer of coolness, but that bullshit doesn't fool me- I've seen your type come and go for years. You are a fraud. I wouldn't hire you to wash my dishes. I would love to know what fast food drive through you work for, but you will never tell me. That would blow your cover at the local dance club as you try to impress 18 year old girls how fucking cool you are, never mind where you live. I just laugh. Good luck with that.

You don't expect anything more. When you type it the way you did, it implies that you have high expectations.

So, we're still on for sex later, right?
