I'm sorry but I can't imagine being fat enough to want to go off my bc pills. Those suckers do SO many other beneficial things. I would rather have 5-10 extra pounds (luckily I am thin anyways) than have a 7 day raging period that is as unpredictable as the wind direction. Right now it's 3-4 days and I can set my watch by it. Maybe TMI for you guys, but I thought maybe the wife isn't looking at all the benefits to the pill. Has she even talked to the gyno about this?? There are like 10 other options to the pill: the patch, the ring, IUD, sponges, etc... Maybe a different and more effective method would be an alternative. 
), the pros of the Ovulation Billings Method outweighed the cons.She's heard of five people, two of them her sisters, that used to take the pill, gained about 15-20 pounds, and, when they got off the pill, they lost all that weight. She says she still have some baby fat around her mid section, but I don't care. I support her if she wants to lose that weight.
Another con is the increased chance of cancer and long-term problems by the age of 35 with the pill. NO doctor knows of the long-term side effects of the pill yet. She doesn't want to take that chance.
The Wife also thinks that will even out her libido, so that not only will she have an increased sex drive, but on the days we can't have sex, that will motivate her to try other things, and she'll be more turned on because she knows that we can't have sex. Her own words.
It also will lead to increased communication and closeness as we both have to be onboard with this and talk to eachother about this method, on a daily basis. Other then when I'm trying to study, I have no problem with that.
This method is actually just as effective as the pill if done right, and by the rules. You have to have the discipline to stay by the rules, and that discipline is that I don't want another child. That's all that I need to know.
I told the wife that we could try it for six months. She seemed happier then.

Now you should agree to do a formal written review at six months. Develop criteria around her body weight, frequency and variety of sex acts, sexual enthusiasm, and pregnancy. Write it up and post it here.

OK, first wanting to go off the pill to "loose weight" is a red herring. There are many other ways to deal with weight, even above what she's doing. And she want's another child, yes? So she want's to loose the baby weight....so she can have another baby and gain it back?
I'm not buying it. I'm thinking she wants to increase the odds of a mistake so she'll get pregnant. My advice - warm up to the idea of another child. Even at 3% chance of getting pregnant, you're going to hit that odd after a while - bet it's less than a year. I don't think your conversation with her should be about birth control method. I think you two need to get on the same page as far as another child goes. I think that's the root cause of why she's making this suggestion.
The Wife also thinks that will even out her libido, so that not only will she have an increased sex drive, but on the days we can't have sex, that will motivate her to try other things, and she'll be more turned on because she knows that we can't have sex. Her own words.
You know, all women are different so I won't try to judge too harshly, but in my experience the biggest impact on a woman's libido is a child, not the pill. :wink: And you're also going to have to deal with pre-menstral week and menstral week. Yeah, she's going to be all over those "other things" when she's bloated, crampy, and irritated. 
Sounds like a sales job to me. My wife always tells me - when I sound like a salesman, she knows I want somthing.
Best of luck to you though. Be sure to let us know when she's expecting! :wink:
