Positive Birth Control Experiences

Unread post by Sam W »

The internet is chock full of birth control horror stories. Raging Hormones! Broken Condoms! Vaginal Rings flying through the air like UFOs!

Okay, I made the last one up, but a lot of conversations about birth control tend towards all the things that can go wrong or all the unwanted side effects people say they've experienced. And while it's important to be honest about the issues people face with birth control, including the trial and error of finding a method that fits their needs, a constant focus on the negative makes people afraid to use contraception. So, are there times birth control helped you out in a big way, or times when you felt like you really got to have a say in which method you chose?
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
