I have heard some odd tales about being put on the pill and feeling nauseous or gaining weight, or something. Always found that quite interesting.Phasmal said:5-6 days ago. Taking a break from my pill now so abstaining for a bit. Which kinda sucks.
Both a new relationship(~2 months) and a healthy sex drive for both. Plus the fact that the sexual chemistry between us is pretty much amazing. Everything just clicks.Colour-Scientist said:Yeah, when I was answering I thought people would think I was either bragging or lying. Seven times in one weekend? It's either a new relationship or you both have a serious drive?
Back when I starting going out with my boyfriend we had sex more times in one day than we do in a week now.
Being a fourth year medical student, I can safely vouch for not going off the pill. There's no medical reason for having "gap weeks", unless you've started to get spot bleedings. My girlfriend has had a "planned" menstruation about twice or trice a year (whenever she started to get small spot bleedings) ever since she started on the pill. Only took her two weeks to get pregnant when she stopped taking the pill (it was planned ;-) so it definetly do not reduce fertility at all.Phasmal said:I dont even get a gap week on mine. And it stops my periods. I don't like going so long without having one, thats why I'm coming off it for a bit.Colour-Scientist said:I don't mean my gap week, I always take the gap week. I mean coming off of the pill altogether for a while.Kendarik said:There is no actual evidence suggesting that women receive any beneficial effect from going off the pill. Even the 1 week off per month is only there to keep the period going, but long term studies have shown that going without a break week have never been shown to contribute to any risk in negative side effects.
So basically, don't go off.
I put that one on right after having sex once.FamoFunk said:I qualify to sing this along to this song
