Donating sperm was weird, because the goal was to get someone pregnant rather than the opposite of that.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Yeah, when I had one, that was me. (THANK YOU, MIRENA.)
Oh my god. LOVE. It is SO GREAT to not get a period any more.

Hmm, I have to change my BCP because the bastards don't carry my old one. I'm on the three month kick, but what's the deal with Mirena?

Does anyone know if the Paraguard has the same effect? I'd prefer to go hormone-free if I can. (Hormonal BC makes me...hormonal.)

It's the non-copper IUD. It's plastic of some sort that releases a low level of progesterone (or, I can't remember, progestin?) continuously.
AND IT IS AWESOME.
(But we're still paranoid and use condoms anyway. Which is fine, because -- less mess.)

I think it has the opposite effect and makes periods heavier. (In general, that is. Obviously not for every woman who's ever had one.)

Hormonal BC makes me a RAGING LUNATIC. But the Mirena's been fine.

I'll stand up for the Nuvaring. Hasn't eliminated my periods, but they are much easier than before. Best part is they have come close to eliminating my crazy migraines. Kinda like my periods - they haven't gone away entirely, but are much more manageable.
eta - 'before' makes so much more sense than 'better'.
