Birth Control????

Hello Everyone

I need women's point of views and advice about birth control. I have never been on birth control pills, but I have been seriously thinking about getting on them since I am tired of using the condoms with my partner. We have tried different kinds of condom and the only one i could really use is the lamb kind. I have heard different stories about birth control pills that make me not really want to use them, i heard about the gaining weight and i know of a gal that got brown spots on her face after using the pills. I also read an article about birth control pills actually affecting your libido! does anyone have any insight into this?? what do you guys think about the birth control pills that make you only have like 4 periods in a year? do you think thats safe?

Thanks

If you're interested in birth control methods other than the pill, you should check out the FemCap (www.femcap.com). It's a cervical cap, as mentioned by cl-dancer31, and is latex- and hormone-free. This might be a good option for you. It can be left in for 48 hours (basically a whole weekend) and then taken out, washed, and put back in.
