    Why not look into Natural Fertility Awareness (Napro technology)? Go to WOOMB.org and see what it's about. My wife and I have been doing it naturally for the past 12 years and it's worked great with no drugs, side effects and is morally correct. The Pill fools your body and increases you chances of blot clots, strokes and also affects your mood. The natural way is the only way that you can do in good conscience. Look into it.

    It does involve some discipline because you will have periods where you will have to abstain when you are ovulating (about 5 days per cycle) as well as being aware of what your body is doing. Unfortunately, the Pill usually messes you up for a few cycles after you stop taking it. You also need to abstain for one or two full cycles to be able to chart your body's signs. Believe me, it will enrich your married life (if you are married) and foster his respect for your body and the awesomeness of sex as a wonderful God-given gift which has a real and beautiful purpose. The other forms of contraception foster a "sex-on-demand" attitude and starts to encourage the use of each other's body for pleasure and not for happiness (there's a big difference)

    I use that as my back up method when the Todd Akin "legitimate rape" method doesn't work.

    I get the Depo shot... I love it, but sadly they say you shouldn't get it for longer than 2 years because it can cause you to lose bone mass (blah blah blah, when my 2 years is up I'll switch). Every 3 months, don't have to think about anything and NO PERIOD! LOVE IT!

    I think this is a myth. Could be true in your part, not for sure. I did experience weight gain simply because I ate like crap and sat on my *kitten* all the time. I've lost 30 lbs since I changed my life around. So if you're lazy, I think any thing can cause weight gain, not just birth control. I think a lot of girls just use bc as an excuse. Not calling you out, just saw this post about depo/weight gain.

    Howard Stern said it best, he said he legitimately raped his hand after he got home from AGT.

    It's like everything, everyone is effected differently, I know for me the first time round I was doing martial arts twice a week and working out the other 5 days and I put on weight, nothing compared to the amount I put on this time round sitting on my *kitten* doing nothing, but I did put on weigh, and trying to lose those extra pounds was also much harder, I struggled like crazy, shifting my calorie count, my work out routines, my diet all over the place. I couldn't get rid of the extra pounds. When I went off the depo though, within a couple months, everything just melted away like butter.
