I have not been on birth control since this past summer- more specifically bc pills (was on nuvaring originally). We use the pull out method, no condoms. I want to get back on it, but then again I don't. I know I should. I stopped it because my prescription ran out (doctor won't renew till you get a yearly exam). I wanted to go to an actual doctor's office since I've had health insurance, but I'd feel more comfortable with the clinic I was going to, although I pay an extra $10 because they're considered specialists under my insurance. I don't know- I guess this is a rambling on post for me- a 'get off my chest' one
pros:
~it's bc, enough said
~boyfriend said he'd like me on it again (his wanting it was the only reason i started it in the 1st place)
~possibly being with guy #2 - it's a reassurance thing
cons:
~lowers my want for sex drastically (I think my main reason for not wanting to start it again)
~stopping bc again will stink with mild acne and such (which I've never had before this)
~i was never 100% with remembering to take it/keep up with it anyway
Then there's the question of if (and when) I get it, should I get the pills that I forget about half the time anyway? Nuvaring didn't work, and I don't want something that will last for years (I want to be able to start and stop when I want, without having to see a doctor). Depo shot I don't want either. Hmm...now I'm being difficult!
If I were to get pregnant (with my bf), I would have the baby, although I know it would be hard now. But I would be done school by then, so it's not a big deal to me. I have always wanted kids, but I would like to be married first. We're buying a house in the next few months, so that will be out of the way.
Once again I'm rambling. Any input here?!?!
