Does the pill make you Fat???

[tamba]

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?

I think i may have had a (very little) one on my own [confused emotion] Im sure i could if it had the time and inclination

But definatly never with DH

only if it's covered in chocolate

3 times a day of Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am, tamba? I know what your New Year's Resolution should be! It's not all about his needs, you know.

I know but atm my sex drive is so low that i cant even be bothered to try and make the changes that need changing - i just shut up and put up (or out )

If it was causing a problem i would do something about it but its not atm iyswim

lol, he is asleep on the sofa atm. He uses up far too much of his energy

you really need to find out what pleases you and then tell him. You have to do this!!!

Tamba, I would like to know how you do it!? How do you have time to look after kids, have sex twice a day AND have time to go on MN!!

and sorry to be blunt....but don't your bits hurt?!

I was just thinking that too!!!!

I was also just thinking that! Never had an orgasm, oh dear! I am content in the thought I can 'have one' whenever I like te he. Your man needs some serious coaching! I would turn the tables around and make myself 'in charge'! This way you can 'show' him what you like, and he will probably love it too.
Get down to Ann summers my girl!

Back to original question- I am on Logynon Ed and it didnt make me fat!

I am on Microgynon and I am not sure if it has made me fat. I have been on it for years and am slightly overweight, but thats probably to do with all the burgers, pizzas etc!

LOL my bits dont hurt

And as for time, im not taking fab brilliant long sessions of sex, Im talking a couple of minutes of him getting his wicked way so it really doesnt take up that much time Usually about 6ish in the morning and then i go back to sleep and then when we come to bed at night. If the kids are at nursery we sometimes do it in the afternoon which lasts a little longer and tends to be slightly better for me.

I was tellling him about this thread last night (although ommitting the 'its so crap comments ' ) and He said "you didnt tell them I still dont think its enough did you?!" I said if i told you all that youd just tell him he was bloody lucky in the first place and that he should focus more on quality not quantity

still not enough!! OGM!
