has anyone here actually known or heard of someone that got pregnant without having sexual intercourse?.. you know, by masturbation or semen getting to the vagina some other way by accident.

Pill Help!

[judestar.livejournal.com]

So I recently went back on the pill and started sleeping with my new boyfriend. Things were totally great, we have good frequent sex and I enjoy it lots.

However, recently he has been problems entering me, and getting me "wet" enough to be able to do so properly. And I have been finding it harder to get aroused, especially on my own. I have also stop enjoying doing some of the things I used to like doing so much.

This has happened when I have been on the pill in the past. Has any had any similar experiences?
If so, does anyone have any advice?
Should I got to the doctors and ask to try and different pill or just bear with it and hope it sorts itself out?

good god! herbs!

so i've discovered, tho most of you grrrls already know, the wonders of herbs to help with a late period. no, i'm not pregnant. i just have a fucked up cycle cos of all the medications i'm on.

herbs used: blue cohosh root, parsley leaf, and a store bought tea from TRADITIONAL MEDICINALS (pms tea) which includes such herbs as: dandelion root, carob pod, barley grain, chicory root, parsley leaf, oatstraw herb, nettle, uva ursi leaf, cornsilk and stigma, and cramp bark.

the teas have really calmed down my pms (yeah i still have it, but not nearly as severe. people can actually be around me!) and i can feel the uterine contractions. so my periods gonna actually be on time! wow!

i also wanna recommend, while i'm on the subject of on time cycles, the SLINGSHOT(!) organizer from slingshot collective. it is an anarchist organizer with a menstrual chart, planner, and little info pages in true ZINE fashion. i highly support the slingshot collective. you should, too!

i do have questions tho: what herbs are good for making menstruation less painful? i always have really bad backaches, cramps, headaches, and nausea. any ideas?

thank you, grrrls, for yr time and patience on this longass rambly entry.
