Thank you, I think most of those options would be a good idea.
Except I'm pretty sure the shot is not offered in Canada.
I'll talk to my doctor, and my mom and see about the ring or the patch, though.
Thank you!

It is, though I would go with the ring, patch or pill because of the side effects of the shot. Which are depression, weight gain, and a lot more.

Ah, the last sex ed clas I took said it wasn't available in Canada.
That was two years ago, though.

Eep. I think you're right. The shot doesn't sound too good for me.

The significant loss in bone density is what really worries me about Depo, and the fact that the FDA does not recommend it for teens or young women, or to be used for periods longer than 2 years unless you have no other BC options...

In general, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they have thoroughly done their research and are prepared to take extra supplements to counteract the damage that it's doing. Nuvaring is a much better option IMO.

Agreed.

I'm hoping this won't screw up the entire topic from all the errors and crap.

Assuming the person still has one, are they able to see their hymen?

Yes if you have a mirror, and still have one, it is possible to see it.

Well they all look a little different, but it's usually a flap of membrane that covers part (or all) of the v****a.

Is anyone else currently in a sex education or health course that discusses sex? (middle school, high school, or college level) It's my favorite class, and it keeps reminding me why I want to teach people about sex.

I loved talking about sex, and informing my friend of the right facts. Its one thing that I never tire of, as long as its not the same question a million times from the same person though. I went through sex ed about 4 years ago, and it was interesting. I was still a virgin at the time and yet I knew more about sex then even the pregnant girls in my grade.

If you want, you could start a blog about sexual health and maybe share it with your peers, or see if Roxy could make a blog sub forum, and start one there for put it up on a bulletin in your school or community (just make sure its the right info, I've been fooled once or twice).

Oh goodness, -I can't believe I read this thread through
from first post to last, in one sitting..
Very interesting & educational though, lulz, I think I learned
more from this topic than sex ed in highschool.. ;D
Um, unfortunately I don't have any questions at the moment.
A couple ones I'd thought of during the read I saw were answered,
so I give my thanks.. P:

]I am no pro or anything I barely know anything about it. But I heard being really flexible and doing sports like gymnastics can also break it. If that's true or not I have no idea, it's just what I heard.

My gynecologist told me that I probably broke my hymen doing wrestling. I'm pretty sure that this is true.

It is possible. Even horse back riding can break it. A lot of things can break it really.

got a question about the day after pill...does it work? like what are the chances that it will work?

Well they're a lot higher if you don't take it. It's as effective as the pill. It's like taking two of them in one day, so you have that extra boost to make sure you don't.
