	Hi.  I would be interested in knowing what problems (or if you have
had no problems) with the new contraceptive sponges that are on the market.
For the last 3 years I have used a cervical cap (in my opinion one of god's
gifts) with almost no problems.  Well last week I lost it (please do not
ask how and where.  It is far too embarrassing to talk about).  So I 
decided to try the sponges.  Well less than pleased is a good word for
my experience (I believe I had an allegeric reactions.  I am hoping to 
get a doctors appointment tomorrow to find out what exactly happened).  I
am wondering if it was just a fluke (I have used spermicides with the cap
before so it had to be the sponge material) or if lots of others have had
the same problem.  I had heard such wonderful things about it (but after
all it was all advertising).   I am going to probably go back to the cap
but would still like to know what others think.
