I decided long ago that birth control was the devil and screwed my body up. No doctor has ever given me reason to think this but I do. I haven't been on birth control now for five years. (Wow as a side note, I never stopped to realize I haven't taken birth control for five years, that is a long time!) I stopped taking it a year before I got married, the year I found out I had PCOS. Taking birth control after learning I had PCOS seemed pointless to me so I just stopped taking it.
But, since I did somehow manage by the grace of God to get knocked up without the use of fertility drugs, I better do something to prevent a possible second pregnancy right away.
With that being said I resigned myself to the fact that *gasp*condoms would need to be used. Gross.

ReplyDeleteok markalan, seriously. gross.
ReplyDeletei HATE condoms. BUT I also HATE birth control, a little more than I HATE condoms I think. And so, condoms it is. Until I actually want to get knocked up, then the fun starts ;)
I'm not going back on the pill, either. I am convinced that they screwed me up, too!
ReplyDeleteYou're to silly... Don't forget though condoms can break ;-0
