&& Hello Cheryl,

Just wondering, I can no longer wear a diaphragm (number of reasons) and I'm not too thrilled w/being back on the pill, any suggestions as to types of birth control that might involve less chemicals to the body? I'm not into getting pregnant again though so not too crazy about going w/the rhythm method ;-).

I understand what you mean about finding out 'after' the fact what complications might arise from certain procedures etc, as a matter of fact, the word 'complications' is about as precise as I ever heard/seen mentioned that something might occur due to something. And like you - I think these are pretty important pieces of information to share. Sharing information between ourselves is key I think to ensuring that women realize that they have many options in how they deal with certain issues.
