Hi guys ... just thought I’d share ... As an AS woman, no contraceptive has ever been a good “fit” for my system. Would you be prepared to try the male “pill” for your lady? Thoughts?

Finally, the ‘male Pill’ is here. So what DOES it do to your sex life? Hot flushes. Mood swings. And an extra half a stone — for him! After a year testing a revolutionary hormonal contraceptive for men, one brave couple lift the covers

Half a stone... kidney stone?

I'm all for it, it's just that for some women nothing is ever enough.

I've always wondered if men would be willing to have copper IUD's implanted in their balls.

About 30 to 40 years ago one of my fathers workmates wives was going to the doctors because she was on the pill and it is where one gets the perscriptions from, but the doctor cojld not work out why she was getting through them so fast. It turns out that only she was supposed to be taking them and they both had been taking them.

Oh, so it merely causes more of the same things ME/CFS and fibromyalgia have already done to me.
Guess I probably wouldn't even notice.

(that difference is what, about 5 stone?)

That's hilarious in an odd sort of way.

^^^ Presuming sperm cell count was not affected,would you then take it? I would not expect it to be effected at all btw.

How do they do that anyway? It puzzles me. Does someone have to look through a microscope and count them? One...Two...Three...
Or do they use some clever gadget? And how many is classed as normal? Three? Four? Ten?

It is one of those things that is a bit of an unknown.

If I'm already shooting blanks I don't need a pill or a vasectomy.

I suspect that might already been the case, unless I've just been lucky.

No woman should ever take the chance on the thought that you “may” or “may not” be shooting blanks. I agree with you entirely in this case, that you should have your sperm count checked.
