Ok Ladies...There has been alot of talk on the news and news wires on the net about the new Male Birth Control...
When this comes out on the market would you continue taking your own birth control? Do you think this would make sex much more enjoyable not having to worry about it knowing you AND your partner are on birth control? How do you feel about the new BC for males? I for one would love to be on birth control. Any comments and/or thoughts is great.

hey this question is for the ladies? when your in a relationship and have decided to become exclusive with one another what type of birth control have you chosen to use when you stopped using condoms. (I.U.D., birth control pills, sponges, film, etc.) I really want to know if anyone has tried anything other than birth control and how well it has worked for you.

A Career Woman (Female, Las Vegas, 26-28, Teaching) asked:

I'm thinking about getting on birth control. I have an appointment to see my gyno this week. There are so many different forms of birth control available and I know my doctor will discuss my options and which methods would work best for me. However, I was just wondering which form of birth control some of you are taking and have you had any *major* problems with it? I've heard great things about the nuva-ring; are you any of you using that?

A Jock (Male, 22-25, Student) asked:

we have a question about birth control here at work. us guys are having an arguement about birth control. i don't know how it got started...but here goes...

does birth control prevent conception? or does conception happen, and then the birth control go to work?

My husband and I went out of town for a 3 day weekend. I thought I had packed my birth control, but couldn't find it when we reached our hotel. We didn't have sex while we were away, but I took the missed birth control plus my one for the day when we got back home. We also waited an aditional week to have sex, just to be safe. I have not gotten my period, and am not pregnant. Could too much of the birth control at once have been bad for my body? I was always told to take the pills if you miss them on their designated day.

My boyfriend and I are starting to get serious and have talked about sex. I got on birth control a couple weeks ago, and he wants to wait until it's effective to have sex so we don't have to use condoms. I've offered to have sex before this, I've even bought condoms for us. But he's really against the condom issue. So my question is: Is sex safe without condoms even if I'm on birth control? We've also discussed adding the "withdrawel" method as another form of birth control.

My girlfriend is on Alesse for birth control. It has pretty much killed her sex drive. We used to be intimate about 2 or 3 times per week - now I'm lucky if it's 1 or 2 times per month. It's quite frustrating!

My questions to women on birth control:
1. What brand of birth control are you on?
2. How well does it work for preventing pregnancy?
3. Does it make you moody?
4. What effect does it have on your sex drive?

An Engaged Girl (Female, Milwaukee, 22-25, Fitness) asked:

i need birth control advice. i am getting married and i am a virgin. we don't want to have children until after 2 years. we are getting married in a year. when should i start taking birth-control pills? i know it will need to be in my system for a while before it starts working and my body gets adjusted. what is the name of the best pill? is birth control alone good enough?....i don't want to use a condom when we are having sex b/c i want to be able to feel him inside me without the condom in the way. also should i discuss this with my fiance or will he not care what method we use?

This may sound like a dumb question but do women still get their periods when they are on birth control pills?

I have never used birth control pills before and am thinking about it.

What's a good brand for birth control pills?
