Ok, so I literally jumped up and down and *squealed* when I read this.

i think it's weird when people say they wouldn't trust their partner to take a pill. i wouldn't want to have a long-term partner who i didn't trust about birth control!

exactly what i was thinking.

that struck me too. and i realize no one here was generalizing, so this is somewhat unrelated, but I often hear people say that they don't think men in general could be trusted to take a pill every day, and that upsets me. i don't understand why people don't see that stereotyping is stereotyping, no matter who you're doing it to. sure, some people can't remember that sort of thing, but women are included in those people. i worried that i wouldn't remember - so i set an alarm and that made sure I always took it right on time. :)

anyway, this is really cool, and i hope it continues to test well and is available soon. it's so nice to expand BC options. :)

I didn't mean it as a stereotype. I don't trust myself to take something like that on time every day either, so I don't take them. :}

I just like to be in control, so i feel more comfortable knowing i was the one incharge of preventing pregnant. It's my body, i feel like i should be in charge of it. But it isn't anything about not trusting males, i would trust my partner 100%, its about me being in control ;)

I don't mean that I wouldn't trust them to take it or think they would lie to me about it, it's more that they're both pretty forgetful people and I don't think they'd manage to take it on time every day like you're supposed to.
