Often, a woman's birth control choice is based on word-of-mouth from friends (which pill relieved monster cramps; which procedure was covered by insurance), familiar routines unchanged since college (same old pink pill case) or even TV commercials (seen the ones that make taking birth control look like boarding a Caribbean cruise?).

But as women cross over into the years beyond 30, there are new doctor-recommended options that go beyond basic oral contraception and condoms and can offer unique benefits. A recent Health magazine article by Alicia Potter did the research for us and presented seven top birth … Read More

A trial is set to test a new hormonal contraceptive for men in 400 couples across the globe (60 in the UK and 340 in nine international locales). In the study, University of Manchester researchers will initially give male volunteers ages 18 to 45  up to four courses of injections of a combination of two hormones, testosterone undecanoate and norethisterone enantate, over six months. Both hormones have already been tested in trials for safety and were shown to cause only mild side effects in a small group of participants.

The couples will then be asked to rely on the hormonal method … Read More

This is what we've known from the get-go: that the pill is good for people who want to avoid babies and menstrual cramps.

This is what we've learned in the years since: that the pill is not so good for people who are scared of developing blood clots and dying of a stroke.

But this is what you might be surprised to hear: that the pill can play a role in everything from how we lose our hair to what we choose to eat. I'm Just Not That Into His Weight Gain

As the lefty government (liberal and southpaw*, Barry) begins to execute its agenda, reproduction (the old in and out) is going to be another contested issue. Over the last eight years funding for terrible things like condoms and great things like birth control pills has become limp (heh). Some people out there take the lesson of Onan a little too seriously and believe (on the outside) that sex is for procreation only. These people generally have rigid self-control, a "do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do-because-I-said-so-that's-why-shape-up-or-ship-out" attitude, minimal free time on their hands, a John Lithgow-like character in their lives or a combination of five. Because … Read More

AKA: My worst nightmare...

You take birth control pills to avoid exactly what's happened to Brit Carly O'Brien. Twice. That's right, she not only got preggers on the pill twice, but had twins both times. Queue the scary music!

Carly, who has been using the pill since she was 17, gave birth to her second set of twins, Lilly and Dylan, just two years after delivering her first set of twins, Brandon and Daisy. The happy mom is quoted as saying:

"Everyone I've spoken to, all my friends and family and even the staff at the hospital, say they have never known … Read More

According to Jezebel, gentlemen do prefer blonds but choose to marry brunettes. We suppose the gingers are just SOL. The book Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blonds suggests some chemical nonsense goes on and everybody gets laid. According to Market Watch, dating site plentyoffish.com has seen a doubling in the last 4 years of women just looking for sex. No word on whether they're blonde, brunette, or carrot-topped. And it's all starting to make sense, because The Times says that 30% of sex addiction cases in the US are now women. … Read More

Women's website Dear Sugar recently asked users to sound in on what birth control method they recommend. The answers ranged from celibacy and condoms to patches and intrauterine devices (IUDs).

While the methods varied, the users' endorsements of this product or rants against that one were universally resolute. Because, for a woman, birth control is not only a hormone or a shield or a sponge, it's so much more; the Pill, the gateway female-controlled form of contraception, has long represented a social, political and moral battlefield embodies freedom for some and fear for others. Let's just say its … Read More

Cripes and dammit. Our bestest homies over at The Frisky have reported some awful, awful news about the pill. Though it varies by which pill you're taking (mostly progesterone vs. estrogen + progesterone), there are some heretofore unknown issues with birth control pills (unknown to us, at least).

Quickly: A) Booze and the pill need the liver to function. The former may hinder the latter. B) When you take the pill is pretty important. C) It's a good idea to make up missed pills. D) Some medication (antibiotics and anti-seizure medicine) screws with the pill's efficacy. … Read More

According to our good friends over at the Daily Bedpost, there is a male birth control on the horizon. The pill is due out next year and reduces sperm count by like 98% and causes men to gain muscle mass. It needs a few months to become effective and a few months to become potent again after quitting the treatment. Read about more ins and outs of the pill at Daily Bedpost.

Big pharma has been trying to create a ‘pill’ for men since . . . forever. Most of the pills end up having … Read More
