My wife used oral contraception prior to us deciding to have children because it helped her manage period pain symptoms.
Now after children has had a semi perm (merina) contraceptive installed to manage the damage done by having children.
Without it she would "bleed" almost all month long.
Its way past the time that the conservative sticky beaks made their uninformed the only message that law makers hear. Contraceptives are NOT just for stopping/managing baby production, they're also about saving lives and improving quality of life.
- easymodex 7y agoExactly this. My girlfriend had severe pain when ovulating and also had strong menstrual periods so basically the only tolerable days for her were the 2 weeks in between. She went through several different pills (as prescribed by her gynaecologist). One gave her severe headaches like every other day, another made her absolutely crazy - fights, crying, always moody, she really was NOT the person i knew and loved. Then finally one worked okay, she only had mild periods and just had them every 3 months or so. After our first baby her cycles and pains got a lot better, having a baby kind of resets the body so right now she's off the pill and for the past year we're doing fine with the pull-out method (but if she got pregnant we wouldn't mind so it's no problem).
