I would like out of this time machine, please.

It's kind of interesting to think about how far back we've really gone when it comes to sex within the last few years. I mean, I remember that condoms weren't this weird taboo thing, and the idea of women fucking because they want to was actually like relatively common. Like Salt-n-Pepa songs. And Left Eye from TLC with her condom eyepatch.It

Plan-B shouldn't be a primary means of birth control. I mean, I'm pretty sure it SAYS SO ON THE BOX.
Hell, it says so in the name!

I like Plan-B because it fucks you up a lot less than what they used to dish out in the early 2000s... but I suspect oldschool methods might help here: more likely to look into proper contraception if emergency contraception makes you barf? This incredibly scientific observation is based on my two experiences which took place 10 years apart.

Ahh, I only had my experience with it in like 2002, where it was still a joyful thrillride of nausea.

Oh god, you seriously have these woo courses? That's moderately horrifying.

Oh yeah! I worked a full-day at El Burrito after I had mine.

Keep on sipping from the haterade in the back, and know that I wish I was there to mock with you. And write to me about it so I can dig up which of the woos come rom really problematic backgrounds, like the Japanese blood type thing.

I took Plan B twice, like 3 years ago, about a year apart. No issues! Didn't feel nauseated ... don't even remember having a different sort of period. Side-effects are interesting.

I react very well to hormonal birth control in general, so maybe that's why. I'm probably the Poster Child for hormonal birth control, in fact, haha.

You're so lucky!

A low enough dose for me apparently is too low to help with what it's supposed to. And that is why I currently enjoy crazy hot flashes. They were the best possible option, out of "period forever!", "hope you like puking" and that.

I take Aviane. I decided to stick with it since I have a prescription, even though the boyfriend and I broke up. Plus I have FWB again (we were FWB before I was with Keith), so it just makes sense.

However, I was unable to get the scrip in time the last month, and I ended up being 3 days late. I was like, fuck it, I'm not having sex for the next couple weeks anyway (FWB was out of town), so I took two pills, for two days. Didn't feel any differently. Stayed on track the rest of the month, and my period came as normal!

Health professionals being "instructed" in woo pisses me off so hard. Possibly even more than anti-science fundies do.

My regular doctor is also totally into woo. I got to read about his doing acupuncture on John Elway while waiting for my shots today.

[ms_daisy_cutter]

Bleagh. Does the doctor ever suggest woo "treatments" to you?

[happiestsadist]

Nope. He's been nothing but helpful and pleasant, filling my prescriptions and giving me referrals and stuff. But I worry that at some point he'll be like "KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THAT COLD? CRYSTALS!"

I agree, because it's dangerous. People have died from that crap. Not to mention there's a lot of woo pushed at ME sufferers, like the Lightning Process. Some people claim it works for them, but to me it just stinks of bullshit, particularly since you're not supposed to talk about it.
