Just balancing out the negative with a bit more positive input. Being in a commited, monogamous relationship with a girl on the pill, I have to say I love it. There's no real chance of STD's, since we're only having sex with each other, I don't have to wear a condom, which increases both the pleasure and the spontaneity of sex. She's a girl who keeps everything organised and always takes it and really knows her stuff (I've been learning more about it too, since this is the first time I've dated a girl on birth control). My rather limited understanding on the matter is that it affects every woman differently and that the side effects range from almost non-existant to very severe. So, yeah, it can be great, just learn everything you can about it and talk to your doctor. He or she will help you figure out the best course of action. But don't dismiss the pill out of hand or just start taking it without considering the other options out there. The reason there are so many methods of birth control available is because everyone has different needs in that department. If, like us, you only need something to keep two committed individuals from making a baby at the wrong time then it may work for you; if not you'll want to look into other possibilities.
