My thoughts on Plan B, or emergency contraception
(In bullet form because I’m not feeling very eloquent at the mo). Plan B does not replace regular birth control like oral contraceptives (pills), Nuva Ring, Ortho Evra Patch, Depo Provera shot, etc. When women are picking up Plan B every other week or so, I really encourage them to look at other options that will be more effective. At best, Plan B is 89% effective. The other methods I...

From Gizmodo. You know, once in a while we do get guys in the clinic that are like, “So when can I do a birth control consultation? Is there a pill for guys yet?” I wonder if they’d go for this!

On the other side I see women from my college doing amazing work and finding success in everything they...
Scandalous lady. Loving it.
I feel a little bit like a stalker.
So I like to use Bloglines to keep track of my fave blogs, whether they be about cupcakes or my friends who are living abroad.

I have recently discovered that some of the women whose blogs I read casually use Tumblr so I now “follow” them here too. Is that stalker-y? I don’t really...
