The Pill

 Birth control pill formulations

This article in Wikipedia is enough to baffle anyone, especially parents of girls. Whose bodies are determined to get pregnant. It is up to the parents of these girls to protect them from unwanted pregnancies. 

At one time, this not a problem. Kings and Queens got married when they were 13, and died when they were 40. Which gave plenty of time for everything to happen. The Pill was not necessary. 

Now people live longer and have too many children. Something had to be done, and the solution was The Pill. 

As you can see, formulations of The Pill vary from country to country. And you have to rely on the medical advice for each country. Which is strongly affected by their religious beliefs. 

I live in Costa Rica and get my pills at a local pharmacy. This advertises a pill they sell, called Emma, which is sold as a secret between women. 

Beth and I solved this problem by me getting a vasectomy. We didn't make very many smart decisions, but this was one of them.
