WOMEN WHO SMOKE WHILE USING HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL ARE GAMBLING WITH THEIR HEALTH

Want another reason to quit smoking? An online study cunducted in November 0f 2007 sheds new light on women who smoke whilke on birth control pills.

“Smoking while on birth control containing hormones like The Pill, Patch or Ring may increase the risk of serious health problems, such as blood clots, stroke and heart attack. A recent survey reveals that eight out of ten women smokers continued to do so even though they were aware of the risks associated with this behavior.”

It seems heartland teens (like the rest of the world) has sex on the brain–not really on the brain but I’ll leave it at that. They have an vlog (video blog) at midwestteensexshow.com/

I laughed out loud when I saw this! But does it really help? I think birth control should be taken more seriously and the fact they are trying to get information to teens is great but I wonder if the humor overshadows the content.

You be the judge.

Looks like someone went out on the street and asked a bunch of men about birth control for men. Interesting in that you get to see some of the reactions to male birth control pills. Personally I’m for it.

Here’s the video:

Found this on AOL from NBC San Diego and it’s NEW! uploaded a few days ago. No, it’s not ready yet. This is hormone based.

Male Birth-Control Pill Closer To Reality

“Researchers attending a pharmaceutical convention in San Diego announce that the future of male contraception may come in a pill form.”

For some reason the “embed” link doesn’t work…it does something dumb which is to have you copy then past the link to see the vid.
Here’s the link to the vid:

Birth control pills aren’t as effective as they used to be. This mainly due to the lower dosages of estrogen. What do you get from a birth control pill that’s now 98% effective instead of 99% effective…fewer instances of side effects. High estrogen levels is what caused the Ortho Evra birth control patch side effects and lawsuits.

Here is the story and the news video: cbs4denver.com/seenon/local_story_023191711.html

BTW news organizations SUCK. You have to go to their site to watch the vid…That’s just silly…especially when they offer an embed link so you could watch it here on the site!

This story is a year old but it’s important for anyone making a decision.

Check this out too:

Because of the lower effectiveness, the FDA is thinking about setting standards in birth control drugs. Read that story. Then they decide it may be a bad idea…as usual…they can’t figure out what they want to do.

The pill for men! Well, not right away. It’s 2007 not 1967…I would think we’ve advanced far enough that creating contraceptives for men wouldn’t take so long…at least it’s on the way. BTW this story is a bout a year old but I STILL don’t see where you can actually buy them. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
