Birth Control

I don't know anything about your girl but she better have military precision on taking her pills every single day. When you don't, accidents happen.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seconded. She should also be seeing a doctor for yearly (or at least every other year(ly)) pap smears.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

All you bitches should be taking calcium anyway (whether in the form of a daily multivitamin or extra supplements in amounts prescribed by your doctor). Women start losing bone density in their thirties, which is not far out for anybody on this forum.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ava, when I was without insurance my state had a service to give birth control & women's health services (pap smears, probably pregnancy health checks too) for poor folks. I didn't find out about it until I went to a free clinic; so, it would be worth your while looking into it.

I don't know what you mean about "real" menstruation. It's not like the blood coming out is from a wound the pill gave you; it's still the same stuff you would have if you weren't on it.

I was speaking idiomatically.
