Good point! NFP definitely requires the people who use it to communicate and care about each other. Which raises the question--Should people who don't communicate or care about each other be engaging in an activity that has the potential for creating a new life?  Hmmm, something to ponder.

Condoms protect against AIDS like pulling out prevents a pregnancy. Condoms were not meant to protect people from diseases- they were to prevent pregnancy. The fact that they offer LIMITED protection against STD's means that they are still NOT safe to use against AIDS.

Let's see...there's a 30% chance of pregnancy if a man pulls out, and about the same amount of chance someone will contract AIDS with a condom.

Why not do the sensible thing? Close the legs!

@skamic88 Heart problems yes liver disease no. They do hurt some women not just with things like blood clots but unexplained anovulation even months or years off the pill or severe depression or sometimes migraines or seizures to the point where women cannot function. I just think that needs to be recognized and to stop giving them to women like they're candy. P.S. Off subject, No I don't drive but it has nothing to do with exploding cars but nice example.

... Especially as we progress and learn more. New things like SERMs like Femarelle and Raloxifene can be used as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) even though they affect how hormones work instead of adding hormones.

Keep in mind that there are several types of birth control pills and types of formulations (ex. mini pill vs. combined oral contraceptive pill, drosperinone vs levonorgestrel vs. norgestimate etc etc etc).

fyi Yaz and Yasmine are the same pill (drosperinone & ethinyl estradiol).

... Moreover if you have a history of clotting issues then you should've talked about the risks with your doctor (usually they will advise against it). Risk also increases with age.

But some formulations and newer generation hormones can be dangerous. Frankly I hear more bad things than good about yaz; however I know several people that have used other pill types and had no qualms with it. Hormone therapy is also different from contraception...

@lizziebreath9 Keep in mind that people will sue over the smallest things if they see it as being profitable. But some of these formulations have resulted in death etc. However a few bad formulations do should not represent the whole. Some cars have exploded, yet I'm sure you still drive. It is well know that if you smoke while taking birth control pills you are more apt to stroke or heart problems...

[lizziebreath9]

Am I one of the only one's that watches TV They're building a lawsuit against Yaz,Yasmine,NuvaRing ,OrthoEvra. Which one doesn't have a lawsuit against in now for causing stokes and general death in 20 year olds now?

It just seems like more risk then gain, even if it's not religous. I mean look at what happened with hormone replacement therapy and that was supposidly this big panacea.
