Random Keeper-related question.
Anyone know where one can get one of the little cloth bag thingies that the Keeper comes in?
The tie on mine is all messed up, and now I can't carry it anywhere (in my backpack, etc.) without worrying about getting *stuff* on my Keeper. Eww. No thanks.
It seems like they'd be easy to sew, but I'm needle-impaired...

happy birthday to our beloved community founder!

hey all... I'm not sure if I introduced myself or not yet, so my name's Tara.
I have a really weird question, but I'm pretty concerned. Tonight, I was with my boyfriend and during our "messing around" he noticed that I had started my period. (how embarrassing) only, I've been on Alesse 28 for like 3 years now, and the only time that I've had a messed up period was because I missed pills or screwed up the timing on when I took them. However, I didn't do this this month and usually when this happens, it's more of a 'dry' looking blood, this wasn't. Does anyone know what it could have come from? And also, is it really true that you have to take your pill at the EXACT same time every day in order for it to be completely effective? Cause I've heard sooo many stories about that. Thanks in advance!

I bought two fantastic books the other day...
"Cunt" by Inga Muscio, and "The Vagina Monologues" by Eve Ensler.
Both are amazing. Empowering. I LOVE them.
Good buys.
Highly recommended.
I read both in a matter of hours. Couldn't put 'em down.

One of my favorite parts of Cunt:
" One never hears of sanitary jockstraps, deodorant condoms, perfumed Hershey-Squirt protection pads or hygienic ball wipes, whereas I've heard tell of need for such products"

Yeah! Ever go down on a guy and he has swamp balls? There you go! Why haven't any women thought up an idea for ACTUAL ball wipes? Damn! I think we have a patent brewing!

Ahhh, I feel so much better after reading these books. My feminist instincts are once again coming out of my pores. Just like back in high school.

a quick observation

I just read on birthcontrol.com that the today sponge is back on the the market, but only in Canada. I wonder if this means you can order on the net? I've never used one, but i heard they are pretty effective and i really want to get off of the pill because i have tried 3 differant brands and they all irritate my system. I'd like to hear from any of you who have used the today sponge and whether or not it is a good thing.

A cup of creamy liquid helps the medicine go down?

(This community has been so awesome.)

I finally started getting some of those awful side effect from the Pill that everyone warned me of. After about a year of taking the Pill, I began to feel nauseated and depressed. Both were in periodic spurts, then both CONSTANTLY. Imagine feeling nauseated most of your waking day? Yeah, quality of life went downhill.

Some of the girls I talked to who had similar symptoms, as well as my doctor recommended I take vitamin B-6 with my Pill. My friend explained that the Pill decreases your levels of B-6, which would explain the depression and nausea (something to do with metabolism somehow).

So I started taking it with B-6, and my nausea is fewer and further between, with the depression going away, but now there is a new problem. I get nauseated just swallowing the Pill. The ACT of swallowing the Pill- heck, just LOOKING at the Pill- makes me nauseated. Dreadful psychosomatic reaction... I hated taking it everyday and it made it hard to be consistent about taking it at the same time because I didn't want to take it AT ALL.

Well, today I was craving cereal, so I took my Pill with milk, and you know what? No nausea. It seems that maybe the creaminess of the milk helped the Pill go down easier. I don't know, I just wanted to share this and I think from now on I will take my Pill with a creamy drink. Heh heh...
