I'm Currently Feeling: | do you think its true? ok i have just heard something very interesting!! it might already be a known thing but a friend of a doctor just told me that one of the reasons women have troubles conceiving nowadays is that because there are so many women on the pill, its being passed into the water systems, and because of the concerntration of it its not being completely filtered out!!! my friend found this out awhile ago and now never drinks tap water!!! it may sound a tad far fetched at first, but if you really think about it, i bet its possible!! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I don't know. If drinking tap water worked as contraception, in some ways that would be quite handy but when you think how easily people can sometimes get pregnant if they mess up on the pill, I don't think it could work. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | naa i think that ones maybe a little urm off the mark. i personally reckon the reason is beacuse as much as we all want babys most of us have our timing completly off and think we all have a text book cycle....and not enough sex....i was ttc for 10months and it wasnt till i charted that i realised just how wrong my timing was...i no obviously this isnt the case for every one but i think for alot of people they jus assume it would be on the average when every women is different xxx | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | naaa, this is an urban myth that was circulating some time ago- think about it, if hormones etc could get through filtration process, then so would certain diseases. I think someone has had misinformation here. Candice xx | | | | Status: Offline
