Check yourself before you... get pregnant.
It's about time guys share the burden, am I right?
A scary story like this is almost enough to make you want to put away your pills.
Everyone knows that sex without a condom is better than with that thin latex lining. According to guys it “feels amazing” and is “probably the best thing on earth.” (Clearly, guys have never tried dipping pretzels into frosting....) But we also know that no matter how good it is, it isn’t good enough to risk getting pregnant and spending our days playing peek-a-boo instead of beer pong.
With the latest events surrounding Planned Parenthood, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much it costs to be responsibly sexually active. Birth control, condoms, PAP smears, STI tests, and Plan B — it adds up fast!
Dear Tuffy Luv, My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost five months, and until recently, it has been amazing. About a month and a half ago I began taking the pill - Loestrin 24 Fe - out of necessity. The condom broke a few times and I had to take Plan B. At first I was pleased with it. There's only one side effect. But it's a BIG one.
Birth control is one of many things on a list up for consideration to be included as required free preventative care on overhauled healthcare plans. If BC makes the cut, it could eliminate the extra costs to prevent pregnancy for women all over the country - but should it be included?
• That might be a possibility under the new health care reform... • The lines that won't get you laid. • A big "mazel!" to Jane Lynch! • 32 summer work outfits that are actually cute. • Is being cheap a dating deal breaker? • There might be a bun in Khloe Kardashian's oven.
Q: This is a really gross question, but I have to ask someone. I discharge...a lot. And it’s not just around the time of my period. It’s random and plentiful. Ew. Anyways, I don’t know what to do about it or if it's caused by something serious? Help. I’m afraid to be with a boy because he’ll be super grossed out.
Who loves Friday? We do, we do! The clock has officially struck 5 (for us, at least...sorry West Coast), the booze is officially in hand, and we're ready for the weekend! And, quite frankly, we deserve it. It's been a busy week around here and we are really effing tired.
It's been almost six months since I wrote to you all about my blood clot experience, and, let me tell you, has it been rough. I've gone through a lot of snags that I didn't expect, but then again I didn't expect to get a clot either.
