    I was 25 before a pharmacist told me that antibiotics cause birth control to be less effective (I was lucky and didn't find out the hard way)
    They should teach that in health class dammit.

    Holy smokes. Thank God I don't use the pill. This just reaffirms my distrust. Condoms folks. Just use a stinkin condom. OR maybe even a diaphragm, or foam or something along with your pill. My prayers for all.

    Those are not fool proof either. Condoms break. Diaphragms can be worn or have flaws. Foam is like 70-80% effective.

    As my health teacher once said. The only 100% proof way not to get pregnant is to not have sex. Or get fixed.

    Getting "fixed" isnt 100 percent either.. Have you ever seen the show "I didnt know I was pregnant"? Some vasectomies aren't effective... Scary stuff.
    some "fixing" is 100% fool proof, i.e. complete hysterectomy.

    Do you know what sucks? People who don't need to worry about condoms.
    - no pun intended.
