i also second the depo provera shot
you can get the shot in your lower back if that would help any
can we talk about something else

And the needle is turbo sharp and pointy and sinks into yo-
sorry.
So I'm making rubber band balls at work. Out of my own bands of course, can't abuse office supplies. :v:

get the pill, so long as you're responsible about it i doubt you'll have any problems at all
[editline]1st October 2012[/editline]
and you seem plenty responsible
my bf spent a year of high school stealing supplies from his teacher's desk and making a rubber band ball during class, then handed it back to her on the last day of school
I used to have a screwdriver, and me and my friends used to go around high-school unscrewing everything from door knobs to windows.
It was hilarious back then cause the groundskeeper was a guy that resembled groundskeeper Willy a lot by the way he walked and cursed.
So throughout the year we had my garage full of door knobs, lockers, window knobs, basically everything you could unscrew from everywhere.
We never got caught.
One day they just gave up on buying new lockers and door knobs, cause they kept disappearing.
So next year at the prom ceremony my friend parked the car there and we stealthily dropped like 10 boxes full of door knobs and stuff from doors, windows n shit in the middle of the dance floor.
It was hilarious to see the groundskeeper reaction.
He was pissed. :v:
me and my friend once piled up some chairs and desks in the corner of the room during one of my high school classes and the teacher let us keep it that way for weeks
we'd sneak around the classroom and gather supplies, and we ended up making a ton of that paste which is just water and corn starch, and gluing things together with it
except that stuff goes bad and gets moldy and starts to smell and it was a really big mess and we had to stay after class to clean it up once the teacher found it
but he was a pretty good sport about it, i miss that class
[editline]1st October 2012[/editline]
oh and now in college the top priority of everyone on my floor is unscrewing doors
its pretty funny to come back and see your door lying on the floor in your room with a screwdriver and some screws, even though its a pain in the ass to get it back in
i miss high school. i had so much fun
lol, we can just lift off the doors from the hinges
My dad had a friend in highschool that, while in chemistry, made a ball of putty out of the sodium they had been doing labs with. Well he was kneading it and playing with it, and....
went into the bathroom, hurled it into a toilet while flushing it, and ran as all you could hear was a "PFFFSSSSSSSSSRRRRRRR *BOOM*" as it exploded in the pile somewhere under the floor. Sewage flew out of all of the toilets and very likely fractured the pipe in the floor.

Ask her to put it on with her mouth if it's not one with that lube on the outside too.

pretty sure they all have lube on the outside...
[QUOTE=Autumn;37868329](i think she means because she's got "the shot" so she's already protected against pregnancy)
though rhenae, i don't see why you wouldn't trust the pill but happily trust the shot?[/QUOTE]
I would be way too worried about forgetting one, and I'm really terrible at remembering pills so most likely I would. Overall efficiency statistics the shot is also much better, and protects you more of the month
uh, pretty sure that's bullshit. the pill is one of the most effective forms of contraception [U]when taken correctly[/U] because of how it works, i.e. a) stopping you releasing an egg and b) changes the way your lining is created so an egg would never be able to grip your lining even if one was released.
i'm sure that the shot is also highly effective, as are condoms (provided they don't snap), but saying that the shot protects you "more of the month" than the pill is definitely wrong, the pill keeps you constantly protected, even in your 7 day break
if you miss a pill then that's your problem, and it's fair to say that you wouldn't trust yourself if you're a bit forgetful, but don't just spout rubbish about it.

From my understanding the pill doesn't protect you for a week after you miss a pill, does that apply to during your period (the allotted week when you don't take the pill)?
But I mean by pill being less reliable is the stats on perfect use (clinical trial) vs Actual use (actual stats on how people do) has quite a lot of difference, where as depo is nearly equal.
And considering i'm one of those people who would be unlucky and fuck up, obvious choice.
The depo works the same way the pill does essentially, effect wise.
but that's not the pill being less reliable... that's entirely the person's fault. i can see what you're saying, and that the shot is more of a fail safe, but it's wrong to say that the pill is less effective.
if you miss a pill you're not protected for a week (which is your fault, not the pill's), and whilst it is very rare to conceive whilst menstruating it is possible, so yeah, you wouldn't be protected during your off week.
the only true method of contraception is abstinence :)
but the other major reason i like the pill is because i can decide when i have my periods. when i first went on my doctor told me i could happily only do every 3rd or 4th bleed, so i tend to run two or three packs together - because honestly, who can be fucked with periods
if i know i'm going away or have a lot of parties that week i can plan around it. i don't think any other form of contraception gives you that option

True, it's sort of the human error section of reliability, not exactly the pill. Does remind me I need to get my shot some time this week though :v:
And are you protected for the week after your off week? (I just never managed to find the info on this honestly) Since you haven't been taking the pill for a week before that too?

I enjoy not having periods at all via the depo :v:

[quote]The hormones in birth control pills prevent pregnancy throughout the entire month — even during the fourth week.[/quote]
from the first day you take a pill you're protected, because if it's your first ever pack and you've already ovulated then the lining won't allow the egg to get a hold, and you won't conceive
you then take the pill for the following 20 days (some have an additional 7 days of placebo pills just to make sure you don't forget to start taking again) and you are always protected.
you're protected in your break because a) you're bleeding b) no egg's been released and c) even if it had, it's not sticking around
and then you're protected from the first day off your break because you wouldn't be ovulating for at least another week, but since you're on the pill you're not going to be doing that anyway
you are always protected when taking it correctly
Very helpful, I find most sites that have info on this stuff to be very unhelpful and uninformative sometimes.
The pill's some good shit, yo. I understand it being hard to trust, though. Your girlfriend just takes a little pill at the same time every day and then you're expected to just let it fly everywhere and TRUST SCIENCE. (obv you're the girlfriend so change that sentence accordingly) My girlfriend and I were seriously nervous when she first switched to it. We switched from the good ol' pullout method (because THAT has a reputation for being foolproof) to the pill and removing that obvious act of "no jizz = no babies" makes it feel very insecure.
Would anyone recommend a good way to strike up a conversation besides the cliche of "hey, what's up?"
[QUOTE=Branflakes;37874207]Would anyone recommend a good way to strike up a conversation besides the cliche of "hey, what's up?"[/QUOTE]
these things come based on circumstance. if you're talking about fb chat or text then sometimes just saying "hey" to someone is fine because, if they want to talk to you, they'll be happy and find something to discuss and it won't matter that you don't have some preconceived reason to talk
I meant to say towards a person that I've never talked to before and that I'm interested in, not a general conversation starter towards people that already know me.
oh right. in person? i guess you know them from something? like a class? or a hobby? talk about those things but don't talk exclusively about those things cos it gets stale
i'm no expert. i've only ever been with girls i'm already at least sort of friends with
Not in person, online, I decided to give this online stuff a small try and I found a girl who has stuff in common with me, but it to me it seems awkward to strike up a convocation about things in common with a person i've never talked to before, then again is that how you meet people and make friends?
[QUOTE=Branflakes;37875509]but it to me it seems awkward to strike up a convocation about things in common with a person i've never talked to before[/QUOTE]
yeh it really is
[quote]then again is that how you meet people and make friends?[/quote]
on a forum where this is what people are there for yes. like dating sites n stuff. randomly starting a conversation with someone (on facebook i guess?) and saying "hey i looked through your page and i see you like x so let's talk about x" is pretty weird though
facebook and similar services are an incredible social tool and help and make life a tonne easier but i'd recommend meeting people face to face in real life
as an example, my girlfriend and i became close before we started seeing each other through facebook. i had met her in person a bunch of times though and she's the sister of someone else i'm friends with; there were reasons for us to talk and facebook was the easiest way to do it at the time. that said, i would never have spoken to her based entirely off the fact we have similar likes/hobbies/interests according to her fb page

I didn't mean making friends over forums or online depending on their hobbies and what not, I just meant in general. I get what you mean about meeting people in person and going from there, that's how my last relationship started, but since starting college and that it's like being a new person in a new school I haven't had more than a few weeks to get to know people and then next thing I the class is over and I never see them again.
