Our friends at The Frisky posted this earlier this week and we think it's important enough to share with you. "Earlier this year, the FDA approved a generic low-dose birth control called Tri-Lo Sprintec. Afterward, many insurance companies -- including mine -- switched coverage from the name-brand Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo to the much cheaper, newly approved generic brand. In July, just a few days before my wedding, my pharmacist informed me of the switch and said that if I wanted to continue taking the name brand, I'd now have to pay the full cost, which would be an increase of $60 over what I'd been paying when my insurance still covered it. After the pharmacist assured me the formula in the two pills was "exactly the same," I decided to save some money and try the generic brand, Tri-Lo Sprintec. Since then, I've been experiencing all kinds of unpleasant side effects."

LADIES! you don't have to take birth control pills. read "taking charge of your fertility" to learn about the fertility awareness method of birth control. it's safe, natural, free, and hormone-free. i don't trust the government or pharmaceutical companies to have my best interest at heart. plus it's really cool to know what's going on with your own body. this should be taught in sex education, and sadly, it's not. educate yourselves and ditch the pill and the side effects.

I agree with Leslie. That's what I do and it works great! I hate the thought of pumping hormones into my body everyday unnecessarily. Read this amazing book by Toni Weschler.
