Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 You ladies may want to read this article. It contains info about a new, low hormone-level contraceptive, but also discusses the wider issue of skittishness among women regarding hormone replacement therapy and hormone use in general. You know, IMHO (sorry for what I've got to say here guys) - Just get off the pill and have your man get a vasectomy. It's easier and not life-threatening. Of course, if you are looking at HRT because of menopause or a total hysterectomy, that's a whole 'nother ball game. So much for sticking my nose where it don't belong! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A47561-2002Aug5.html Jerry/NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 Jerry, While " just get off the pill " may sound like a way to get around it...some of us are on it for reasons other than birth control. I had my tubes tied 9 years ago... I have other problems that require me to use BC, to prevent future problems in that area... Long Story... You don't want to know, lol. Thanks for the article though...it was worth the reading. I wish I could get off all of my meds... but it looks like that isn't possible now, or in the near future either! I hope this finds you feeling well, {{{HUGZ}}} --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 I wish I could drop all my meds, too.
