In their early years they played hybrid jazz rock compositions, mainly instrumental. They recorded their first album for Metronome bringing to the fore an accent for humour and provoking thoughts (the name of the band and their album covers illustrate it as well). Their second album Operation shows a great improvement in sound, a kind of heavy rock based sound with subtle jazzy arrangements. This album had a great success for the Ohr label (specialised to promote the rise of the German underground rock scene). In 1972 Hoodoo Man was also released for OHR. After several replacements, the quintet recorded Rebirth, a progressive hard rock album. In 1976 Backdoor Possibilities was a commercial failure due to a more mainstream sound and the inclusion of more jazz elements. Increase recorded in 1977 marked a return to the hard rock source. Birth Control came back to light in the 90s for many reunion albums like Jungle Life or Two Worlds.

2) Birth Control are also a newer band from Philadelphia, featuring Sean McGuiness of Pissed Jeans. They play a strange form of punk that embodies anything that defies normality and embraces the unknown. Their music, if capable of being compared to anything/anyone at all, is similar to having your questions constantly going unanswered. Further information and mp3s can be found at: http://www.freelegalhighs.org/ and www.birth-control.de

3) Birth Control was a new wave/minimal synth band from Sweden. They released a cassette entitled Lobotomi on the Swedish label Neuköln (NK-008) in 1986.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Birth Control's song "Call Me" express the singer's frustration and confusion over a recent romantic encounter. The singer met someone two weeks prior, with an instant attraction, and shared a kiss with them. However, since then, this person has not been responsive or communicative, leaving the singer in a state of limbo. The singer pleads for this person to call them, even leaving multiple messages on their machine, but to no avail. The singer is left feeling hurt and seeks the truth of what is going on, even if it means ending things.

The song captures the emotions of someone who is experiencing the uncertainty and insecurity that often comes with new relationships. The singer doesn't want to be left hanging or strung along, and wants to know where they stand. The repetition of the plea to be called conveys their desperation, and the fear of not knowing what's going on.

Overall, the lyrics of "Call Me" are relatable for anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of dating, and the anxiety that can come with it.

I stopped hormonal birth control because I’m close to menopause and didn’t want to interfere with the natural cycle. My doctor agrees. This entire video focuses only on women in their twenties, except for the doctors. And that’s the problem I’m running into when looking for information online. More needs to be said about birth control options and issues for older women.

Hello, I’m doing a research essay on birth control. The purpose of my essay is to find if birth control is useful and more effective than other natural methods. May I be able to ask you a couple questions ?

Glad women are being trusted to make this decision about their own reproductive health. Happy it works for many women but hormonal birth control gave me back to back migraines with aura. Never took it after that. Better needs to be done for women.

Hormonal birth control gave me a mustache and chest hair smh & I regret getting on it sooo much when I was 17

Irene's Wacky Journals

@Jtwthat’s because your start point wasn’t in a normal hormonal level to begin with. And unfortunately birth control is not 100% on everyone as anything is. Contraceptives are important; but remember it’s mimicking pregnancy levels too. So even in some women it gives them the same side effect as pregnancy… my case was that one of them made me a completely frigid woman. My second one was good but I take it off and on.

Definitely want to see more accessable and long term birth control options, since parenthood is not a viable option, and obgyn care is declining rapidly in the US.

I think we need to be allowed to just cut our tubes. Especially if we don’t want kids. But if we have PCOs we need something else. This way contraceptives are just that. You use during a relationship for windows of time.

@SM RK I mean I make sense because when I first came out the side effects were a lot more extreme. They actually had to coerce and pressure women to try it on a trial basis for research. Actually the only reason that there was a withdrawal week was to mimic the natural menses a woman would get so that the Catholic Church would accept it.

I was like that to, it’s the long term side effects that are permanent, you could be developing the long term ones from brown it for years. You may not realize what it does til you try to get off of it 💔 it’s affecting you to, you just don’t know it yet.

@Jtw actually I moved to a foreign country a few years ago and ran out for a long time (simply because I was a scaredy-cat and didn’t want to go to a gynecologist in a foreign country lol). I didn’t seem to have any side effects linked to getting off the pill. If anything I was at a healthier weight and everything on the pill than off of it.

I'm soooooo glad I've NEVER taken birth control pills. Mimicking the hormonal profile of a pregnant woman for years and even decades is beyond bizarre and unhealthy. Doctors should stop being so lazy when it comes to addressing hormonal imbalances. Instead of trying to promote sustainable ways to balance hormones, they think nothing of throwing contraception pill prescriptions at women. Has anyone seriously considered why miscarriages and fertility issues have become so commonplace? I guess if they cared enough to research that, we could get the data we desperately need to make a few informed decisions about whether or not the pill is safe and/or healthy.

Samuel n

Well said. We always hear about women having fertility issues but no one willing to call out the decade+ use of birth control. Doctors throwing a pill at the problem is something we see soooo often with many other health problems. I will never go on birth control so that I have the best possible chance of getting pregnant naturally with no issues.

I receive in service credit for this okay I understand the side effects and I also understand something else there is something very wrong with women and girls it looks and appears normal because all girls start a minstrel bleeding cycle between the ages of 10 years old and 18 years old and we go through menopause right around the edge of between 45 years old in 50 years old but honestly I don't think that it is a normal cycle to ovulate once every 28 days and to have a menstrual bleeding every 28 days I just don't think that it's normal I think something went very wrong somewhere and we need to be conducting a study a real study about why women are ovulating so frequently and menstruating so frequently I'm going to say this again abortion is the same action as murder and so therefore the same crime and young girls and women go mad all the time because they've committed murder abortion life begins at the moment the sperm fertilizes the ovum

Get tested for staph on the skin, you may have bacteria in and itself that augments the issue. Slowly shift to other contraceptives so you can do the switch off or on method with the pill. Dermatologist is what you need with acne, it also can be diet related such as dairy, some people are allergic to it. Pills for acne should be temporary with the caveat that if in six months of treatment you aren’t out of it for a few years that you have more than just hormones going on

They have a lot of different options now compared to what they used to. They are safer & side effects/symptoms are more known & milder as medicine in this area has improved.

I know a number of +35 women that have IUD's and swear by them. A few have them for required medical reasons & the others for a mix of contraceptive & management reasons. Personally the IUD was a godsend since its been the most effective treatment for the medical issues I have. Everyone is different though, definitely talk to your obgyn/doctor & they should be better able to help you figure out if it's something that might be worth giving a try.
