Ever read the pamphlet that comes with the prescriptions? Most people don't. Pages of contraindications... It's not exciting reading, but it should be required or no prescription. The majority of the human race only hears what they want to hear... (oooh, i'm on birth control I can't get pregnant, but doesn't want to know that there's responsibilities there as well, like taking the pill at a specific time every day... and watching other drug interactions... It's frightening to me that anyone would put something into their body and not check out thoroughly what the side effects could be.

You're right though, Mal... people do hoodwink themselves... but then again, if the companies really cared about people's fertility outcomes, they'd make that info bigger than 2-point font. I think it is error on both the part of the producer and the consumer.

I'm extremely detail oriented (aka: OCD). So yeah, I paid attention to all the fine print and was very careful about when I took my pills. It wasn't really the BC pills we had trouble with, though. (I think they're the only method of BC on which I didn't carry a child to term, and were the method responsible for the most years pregnant-less. If I had to choose BC again that's what I'd go with...) I can believe the condoms were personal error, but what about the Norplant? I specifically asked my doctor if I had to use any back-up methods. His answer was "No, definitely not. You're covered for five years." Tell that to my redheaded 6yr old.

Say my female counterpart is on said pill and I don't cum inside her. Is there still a chance that she can get pregnant from, say, pre-cum?

Just thought this piece was fitting here....heh
Blessed be the blade is keen The hands that hold it true For in my mind I play the scene Of what he means to do A little snip is all it takes Some thread to make it stick My little swimmers now have brakes And still I have my Dick

at least it was not the husband who got the snip and she is expecting...
I’ve read some where before that some times the vas deferens can reconnect after the snip, but I’ve not heard of a fallopian tube doing it. Maybe the doc then went on to manage a jiffy lube http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=105580

Mojodragon is a brave man to say such a thing here. My sister and I were both unintended. Smile, my mom chose life twice!
I had the same thought myself and as a result I didn't have sex until I was an adult and now only have sex with my fiance The problem is compounded if you don't accept abortion as a way out, which I don't. I have planned my entire life around the possibility of unintended motherhood, even though I am REALLY REALLY HOPING never to have kids at all. If more people could do math, maybe there would be fewer surprise pregnancies!

I throw condoms on my dick. You can too. Works 100% for me. (^: Dice sounds like gambling. Jonathan PS Have you done a background check on the doctors who did the norplant ? Last edited by opus123; 06-14-2006 at 12:59 PM.. Reason: Posted without editing for typos |

The human body is astounding!
It has an undeniable ability to heal itself.... its done it to me and made me VERY angry. I liked being sterile and then one day my old "friend" came back to visit. Oh, I was LIVID! However, someone "upstairs" seems to have plans for me... granted I do not in any way agree with these plans mind you. Alas, who am I to deny the diety of choice their fun and games? |
