I agree with all of you, but the man is stubborn! He has it in his head that the pill = sex. He's a teacher and knows that kids are having sex today as young as twelve without the pill, so why he figures the pill = sex is beyond me because he KNOWS they'll have sex without the pill!

I will try to see if the arguements work about us having raised a smart, independant kid who will use it as pain relief, and not a license to do something she wouldn't have otherwise done.

He SWEARS there are other choices out there than the pill for relief, because the other parents on her soccer team said there were (yeah, the patch, injections... lol.) Either that or the doctors have told the parents that its "hormone therapy" (aka the pill) Funny how he gets all his medical information from a bunch of soccer moms

Thank you everyone for the advice and personal experiences. It really does help. I guess I was lucky - never had a cramp in my life.
