A question and poll about birth control! Please, note I'm not asking about STD protection.
[Poll #1526251]
ETA I accidentally left off condoms erroneously thinking people wouldn't use them as a primary form of birth control instead of as protection from STDs. Oops!
I recently quit taking the pill after being on it most of my adult life. I never had any problems with it, I just decided I wanted to see what life was like without it. It turns out, my periods are shorter, my PMS is less severe, and the sex drive I thought I'd lost around the age of 27 returned with a vengeance. Needless to say, I don't want to go back on it. I've thought about getting an IUD but read on the Blue Cross Blue Shield website that failure rate in women who have not had children is upward of about 30% I find myself doubting that statistic because Planned Parenthood's website doesn't state it. I think BCBS just doesn't want to cover the cost of doing them on people who aren't married.
But I may be more than a little paranoid too.
( blather about Zumba, P90x, and sleeping )
