After 14 years of being on the pill...I was glad to get off it and get my system back to normal. It made me feel so horrible, so slow and bloated, anti-sexual and headachey all the time! Sadly, I think that it messed up my periods so badly - that I was never able to get pregnant after so many years of use. However, I hated worrying about being prego, and used all sorts of other methods of birth control. The diaphram is a joke! The IUD is dangerous. The sponge was okay for a while. My favorite was rhythm, (the one the Pope HATES!!!) and the method where you watch the calendar and know when NOT to have complete sex with the spoo inside. You learn to know exactly when you are ovulating. It always 100% worked for me, but then again, ....I think by then I was probably sterile from too many years of too much estrogen thanks to BCPs.
Now I feel extremely normal & sexy & healthy and really glad that I don't have to think about birth control very often. Seldom. Once in a blue moon.....
Don't ask why. OKAY, I'm too old to have babies now (I think....)
