hm, i'll have to look into this. i do like the sounds of it; like others, my main concern would be the return of my fertility once i'm ready.

Loss of sex drive seems to be a common side effect of almost every hormonal birth control. Can often be worse if combined with other drugs one might be taking, such as an anti-depressant.

FYI, I am chiming in because my fiance is considering an IUD as well.
 
IUD is the way to go. no period, no loss of sex drive, no daily/weekly/monthly BC responsibilities. seriously, it is awesome.
 
meh, having just been pregnant it seems pretty natural to me...
 
Haha well for natural reasons like being pregnant it makes sense. But for unnatural reasons like controlling it with hormones not really. Doesn't the lining get all stale?

I know nothing about medicine and I'm sure it's psychological but I guess I feel like if your body wants to recycle your shit after 28 days, you should let it.
 
i love the last few comments.

Well your body only wants to recycle it if you've ovulated and the egg wasn't fertilized. On HBC you don't ovulate and there's no reason for the lining to shed. Basically, you only have a withdrawal bleed (it's not technically a period) on the pill because it's what happens when you aren't on the pill and manufacturers wanted women to feel comfortable...the unnatural part is in taking the hormones in the first place, not in taking them continuously to prevent bleeds. Plus it's more natural to have less bleeds in a lifetime because women who are pregnant/nursing don't have them so decreasing the number of lining sheddings is arguably more natural.

hello ladies. anyone ever been to a wedding at Castle Mcculloch?

Not a lady but I've been to a wedding there, it was really nice. The only concern/moment of suspense was watching the bride try to descend the steep narrow staircase without tumbling. Might be a good thing to bet on with some buddies.

I heard these NC shows are possibly the last U.S. tour dates ever for her. I think she's going overseas for a tour next, but then may retire from touring (this according to some radio morning show I heard, so who knows the accuracy)
