02/21 Hormone Based Birth Control

Like all other forms of hormone based birth control, using the birth control patch does increase your risk of heart related problems.  It does so typically by boosting your blood pressure, so if you are otherwise perfectly healthy an elevated blood pressure won’t have any adverse effects on you.  However, if you already suffer from a high blood pressure, any heart related disorders, or are a smoker, use of the birth control patch could be risky.  The birth control patch is not more risky than taking the pill, getting injections, or using any other hormone based method.  If you are interested in trying the birth control patch, you should talk to your doctor.

12/18 Home Pregnancy Tests

My daughter wanted to know if she were pregnant, so I went with her while she bought one of the home pregnancy tests and took it to our family home. She went into the bathroom and came out immediately. She had left the test strip on the sink, she was too nervous to look. I went into the bathroom and shut the door. I no sooner had the door shut and she was repeatedly asking am I pregnant. I could see by the strip that the answer to her question was yes, she was pregnant. I opened the door and she could tell by the joy on my face that she was going to be having the first grandchild for the family.
