Some people are sensitive to metal in their bodies--probably caused that bleeding. When I was on the mini pill I ended up having two long periods each cycle. The hormonal IUD uses progesterone like the mini pill, so I'm leery of it. At least you can stop a pill without having to see your doctor.Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-33815637104670946972015-09-22T04:18:58.792-07:002015-09-22T04:18:58.792-07:00NuvaRing is a essential and safe treatments recom...<a href="http://www.zepharmacy.com/nuvaring.html" rel="nofollow"> NuvaRing </a> is a essential and safe treatments recommended by medical experts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414720728194499625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-13907261311330622512015-02-09T04:47:43.571-08:002015-02-09T04:47:43.571-08:00Great post.........Fertility is the natural capabi...Great post.........Fertility is the natural capability to produce offspring.

Mine is very bad and the pill is the only thing that helped me. It feels like I am giving birth for 14 days out of the month and I end up in the hospital without the pill. I wonder if anyone has found a natural way to deal with endometriosis? I could have surgery but have been told the growths will grow back. I don't like what I am hearing about birth control and would love to stop taking it but I feel like my quality of life is being affected negatively by endometriosis. Anyone else?

I also have ethical objections to IUDs as someone who is strongly pro-life (it prevents implantation). Furthermore, the IUD has some very serious risks, like uterine perforation.

Then when they try it, they find many of the benefits in the article. <br /><br />Conversely, people who try FAM for strictly health reasons often find that there is a spiritual side to it. Many couples have said that "making the switch" has brought them closer together. First, you're not fighting your bodies. Second, it definitely helps you communicate about some very intimate topics.

I had issues with the pill. When I went off the pill, I was taught the BOM by a nun that worked with teenage pregnant girls - god has a sense of humor. For me the BOM fit my life style and values. It helped me get my body back on track and is very empowering. When I was ready to get pregnant, I was successful the very first attempt using the BOM, which was a shock b/c I knew so many couples struggling with fertility issues and I was older.

Using FAM solely, there is that openness (some may falsely call it risk) to the possibilty of childbirth. It makes sex sexy, powerful and meaningful when both parties are aware of this beautiful function of sex... the original function. This isn't to say that everyone having sex should have babies, it can be easily avoided with FAM method. But to shut off the body with pills or condoms puts up a spiritual barrier in that moment of divine union and ultimate trust between two people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-46252259381726525942013-12-25T20:34:10.495-08:002013-12-25T20:34:10.495-08:00diaphragm worked for me back in the 80's, but ...diaphragm worked for me back in the 80's, but I'm going to get the book for my daughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411670939093474721.post-75050441539041752262013-12-18T18:58:40.018-08:002013-12-18T18:58:40.018-08:00Yes!
