Does the pill make you Fat???

Dh is fed up of using condoms but we wernt able to use a hormone based contraceptive because i had imbalances that over the last few months have sorted themselvs out. So now he wants me to go on the pill.

What are the pros and cons, and does it really make you put on weight?

Dont like the idea of the coil - just makes me feel wierd about have something stuck up there perminatly (as opposed to for 2 mins when dh gets his way )

We tried the female condom - never again!

Any suggestions?

actually i hav got myself thinking about how many times me and dh have sex.

Usually twice a day, occassionally 3 times if the boys are at nursery. I think thats far too much as its crap and does nothing what so ever for me.

Now to wean dh off this much sex i should...???

3 times a day...youare joking right?

good god!

I would just tell him that it's crap for you and unless he improves the quality by reducing the quanity he isn't getting any.
Full stop.

Forgive me for being so blunt tamba but this is outrageous! 3 times a day of crap sex....what is the point???

I took the pill for a month and put on 3 kilos (probably all water), it's hanging around like a bad smell even 4 months later.

I had a coil fitted and it's been excellent - get your GP to show you one, honestly if you have had a babies head come out of there this tiny little coil ain't going to phase you!

I like the idea of having something up there an awful lot more than having synthetic hormones inside me. Plus if you get the Mirena coil your periods stop. I just have a normal coil.

Bloody hell, dh would drop dead if we went at it at that rate!

Our best was 7 times in a weekend, but we were young and in love and we only saw each other one weekend a month at the time!

I'd tell him , quality, not quanity. Of you don't make it,, neither should he! (dh is a gentleman in that department....he'd die of shame if he finds out I posted that )

LadyTophamHatt · 29/12/2005 18:07

MB, it's the same here.
But my Dh would be dead proud I'd told the WWW{grin]

tamba · 29/12/2005 18:09

I think i get more quanity than quality...

But its a habit that hes fallen into - if i mentioned forplay he would have to lok the word up in a dictonary!

twice a day at a few minutes a time doesnt take up that much time and leaves plenty of spare minutes for mnning!

Poor bloke, we have talked about his lack of prowess in the bedroom but it gos in one ear and out the other, He thinks he is mr love machine.

Its all i can do not to pmsl when hes doing it and saying "wow you so want this dont you.." hmmmm and "tell me how good it is" and theres me going " oh what? erm yes"

Next time tamba, tell him to get you nice and ready first! It takes time, but what the heck, if he can't spend the time I'd tell him to have a wank....if he is only taking a few minutes, he isn't a million mils away from it already!

tamba · 29/12/2005 18:13

True!

Did you know i have never had an orgasm

men!!

OP posts:
Blandmum · 29/12/2005 18:15

Fuck me! What, never?????

hells teeth forget telling him to have a wank, you need to have one too!

Stop faking it (if you do) and get him to practice! Imagine how chuffed he will be when you do.....and as for you!?!

tamba · 29/12/2005 18:16

I am an expert faker!!

thats Faker not f*cker

Blandmum · 29/12/2005 18:18

I know

but when we met he was a virgin and as it was his first time i faked it and told him he was fab!

He never got any better (cause he thought he was a super stud) and I just carried on faking - talk about making a rod for your own back

And here we are 6 years later :::sigh:::

OP posts:
LadyTophamHatt · 29/12/2005 18:24

infact after reading the lastest on here I justwouldn't do it anymore and I'd also tie his hands behind his back so that he couldn't wank and get him nearly there 3 times a day.
I doubt it would take much from what you've said here.

Let him see how it feels to be left "unfinished".

Blandmum · 29/12/2005 18:28

Tamba, it isn't a rod for your back you need!

can't you ask him to branch out a bit?

Get him a book?

Sorry to lower the tone but I thought the title was "Does the pill make you Fart???" I just wanted to share that with you all.

tamba · 29/12/2005 19:02

lol franny

I used to work for ann summers - I have a suitcase full of 'rods'

we are trying to branch out a bit, we have about 4 books, some videos, magazines, outfits - you name it!

For xmas dh took some photos (only clevage and thigh!) I was quite pleased with them and was even tempted to post them on here and say look! even a mom of 2 can look half decent if you turn the piccies to balck and white

I think its just lack of effort on his part grrr he just cant be bothered, his main focus is on his pleasure instead of me or my pleasure.

OP posts:
Blandmum · 29/12/2005 19:06

but all that jazz still seems to be directed to him, ie you are dressing up, not him.

Your bits need some time and attention, not dressing up, IMHO

tamba · 29/12/2005 19:07

I did get him to wear stockings and suspenders once but it wasnt sexy i just pmsl!

daisiesinaline · 29/12/2005 19:21

PMSL at this thread. Tamba I think you are a bl**dy saint!!

If you are having sex that much surely you wouldn't put any weight on on the pill with all that exercise!!!!

Seriously though.... I think your chap needs some training!! Buy him Mars and Venus in the Bedroom or something. He needs to know wam bam thank you mam is not the way!!!!

tamba · 29/12/2005 20:38

PMSL

He does do all the housework - does that make up for it?

OP posts:
daisiesinaline · 29/12/2005 20:59

Def not. Orgasms or much more fun than a clean and tidy house!!

daisiesinaline · 29/12/2005 22:25

'are' much more fun that was meant to be!
