Where Do You Stand? Taking Hormonal Birth Control
Many women use hormonal birth control such as the pill, the NuvaRing, or the patch because it's effective, it's easy, it can control or eliminate your period, and it allows you to be more spontaneous when having sex. I know some women, though, who refuse to use it because they don't like how it decreases their sex drive, makes them moody, or makes their breasts grow. Still others just don't like the idea of putting chemicals into their bodies.

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Had an Unexpected Pregnancy?
When we become sexually active, we do everything we can to prevent ourselves from becoming pregnant. We pop pills, get shots, implants, and IUDs, wear condoms, patches, and diaphragms, all for the one, huge purpose of not getting pregnant.
I'm sure all of you have had scares before, where the condom broke, you missed a pill, or your period was late, but what I want to know is, have you ever experienced an unplanned pregnancy?
What's the Deal With the Patch?
All the women I know who don't want to get pregnant are on some type of hormonal birth control, because it's an easy, reliable and an extremely effective form of birth control (besides abstaining from sex altogether of course).
The Pill is great and all, but you have to remember to take it every day. The NuvaRing is also a hormonal birth control, but I've heard a few women complain about it falling out, or that their partner could feel it which leaves us with Ortho-Evra (more commonly known as the Patch).

Not only does the motto, "Get Skinny with Pink," and the use of the word "magic" send warning flags flying, but I am immediately turned off by the fact that the main ingredient, Fucus Vesiculosus, aka Bladderwrack — wtf?!
What's the Deal With the Vitamin B12 Patch?
Vitamin B12 is essential because it helps maintain nerve cells and red blood cells. More importantly though, it's needed to make DNA, the genetic material found in every cell in your body. An adult woman needs 2.4 micrograms (mcg) of B12 a day, and great sources of this vitamin include chicken, beef, fish, eggs, dairy products, and fortified cereals.
