Friend of mine's sister is a health visitor and goes round schools teaching about contraception etc..

She always has a boot full of condoms.

Her husband took her car in for service and forgot..,,the mechanic took one look and said 'Blimey mate.......' in awe.

She is, of course, known to all the kids as 'Johnny Woman'. :rofl:

That is one of the strange things about the Airplane Hangar known as Costco....you would think that the cashier has done their job properly but they have to have the person at the exit checking your purchases...

i think he heared you a bitching, and made the right choice

Not sure if you get this kind of thing through customs, though?

Also abusing the system. At some stage you will need to see GP with repeat prescriptions and they will reduce amount until you do get seen. Think customs may have something to say also

Slightly worried now ...

I get a contraceptive injection (Depo) from doc every 11 weeks .. am i still likely to get this in canada .. I refuse to go on the pill .. i aint had a pe**od in 3 years (sorry to much info) and dont intend to have one anytime soon, although me and OH have mentioned options for him .. he's still thinking about it (yeah for the rest of his life) ..

So does anyone else get the injection, or has anyone heard about it ???

Thanks

Not necessarily a rest of life decision...can be reversed these days.

It really shouldn't be considered reversible. Success rates vary from around 50 to 65 % , usually with much lower sperm counts and a higher rate of chromosomal abnormalities with the remaining sperm.
