I need some advice...
So I have been taking the pill for about three months now. It was my boyfriends idea to start since he doesnt like using condoms. Ive been thinking about not taking it anymore cause I feel guilty in a way for taking it because it does seem selfish. Any one else feel that way? Any comments or anything to make it feel like it is a good idea to stay on the pill?

You never mentioned your age so if you would be okay with having a baby in your life then go off of it. If you want no part of raising a family just yet then definitely stay on it.[I][COLOR="Purple"]There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.[/COLOR][/I]Comment

Taking the pill is... not like having abortions. You're stopping your ovulation, that's all.
If you grew up in a religious family you may have some misinformation about the pill, sex, things related to that, so do some research for yourself and put your mind at ease.
Having said that, I agree with the above poster that if you WANT a child, and are ready for it emotionally and financially, then that's another story.Comment

Are you self supporting? Do you have insurance? How long have you been out of school and living on your own?
If the answer to any of these is that you haven't or don't, then having a baby would be very selfish as you would be unable to support it.Comment

Ummm . . . why is it selfish to be on the pill but not selfish to have your boyfriend use condoms?Comment
