How Birth Control Pills Really Work

I've been taking one form of birth control pills or another for quite a few years. This doesn't make me an expert, but it does make me semi-well informed, at least about the effect they have on my own body.

Recently (about 3 months ago) my pill prescription was changed to one of the new, "popular" brands, one of the ones that has funny commercials. (That's how I pick the medication I use .. by who has the best commercials.) It's taken me about 3 months of use to realize how these new pills work.

Did you know that the new birth control pills don't really do anything to impede your reproductive system? The way these pills stop an unwanted pregnancy is by eliminating all sexual activity. These pills play with your libido and eliminate any "urges" or "drives." Also, this is a "purge your ex-boyfriend" pill; I recommend it highly to anyone looking to get over a painful relationship. :)

So for the past three months, in lieu of sex, I've been doing my nails, worked conscientiously hard at work, cleaned my room, brushed my dog, shopped like a fiend and many other assorted tasks I'd been putting on hold.

Might I say, too, that my nails have never looked better?
