Open letter to my BCP

Dear BCP,

WTELMF?!  I take you religiously at noon every day.  My cell phone alarm goes off, I take you, and (::crosses fingers::) you do your job.  Why, mid-cycle, am I getting EWCM?  Why is my body screaming "FERTILE"?!  Last time I trusted a pill, DD appeared.  Now I'm supposed to rely on you again when all signs say otherwise?  I especially appreciate these signs after I spent most of the weekend horizontal.

Highly annoyed,
Nico Leg

P.S.  If I end up pregnant, I'm donating it to the closest WWer.

Since you don't have the greatest track record with the pill, perhaps you should try something else?  I'd be all about the Mirena if I could have it.

I don't really want to do anything that ... permanent right now.  We're using the pill and spermicide, but I'm buying condoms on the way home and telling H to stay away until AF appears.

Depo isn't all that permanent :-)

 

Condoms sound like a good choice to double up w/.

i love my Mirena. i have had it for almost 3 years and I don't get a period anymore. it's cheaper than BCP (except generic) if you have it for a couple of years. Estrogen in the BCP gives me migraines, so the Mirena is perfect for me.

I'm gonna need your body to tell mine how that is supposed to work. TIA!

I've loved the 2 years I've had my IUD. I won't miss it too much when it comes out, but it's been wonderful to not have to think about my BC.

TT, when are you having it taken out? You will be TTC then?

Honestly, I was kind of waiting to see if we file for the big D or not.  If we divorce, I'm going off BCP - they aren't agreeing with my BFing hormones.

And IUD commercials make me cringe.  I can't think of one actually being in there 24/7.  I'd have that "Ouch! *wince*" face on non-stop.

Oh. Sorry I didn't realize.. Well I hope everything works out for you, whichever outcome it is you want.
