the horrors of being a sexually active female NOT on the pill.

a quiet moment at works afford me the time to update.

the first thing on my mind, is i'm scared i'm pregnant. this happens every so often, mostly because i'm not on the pill. and i don't use condoms. so that leaves other forms of (much less effective) birth control. add a few early pregnancy symptoms in there, and i'm horrified - even though i haven

Will not lecture on birth-control, but if you don't want kids it's plain stupid not to use any.

Yes isn't it funny how powerlessness acceptance can make you feel powerfull. Wish I had figured that out a lot sooner.
I'm happy for you, it sounds like you're definitely going in the right direction and you're feeling good about it. Go you :)

i do use birth control, just not the pill or condoms. i should get on the pill though. other types of b/c are too risky.

HUUGS!! thanks. it's a totally new and very helpful concept to me.

As far as the birth control thing goes, I know what your talking about. Having being pregnant before because the condom broke( I hope that isn't to much to admit there), but since then I have been turned off by the condom idea, I can't focus on anything but omg it's going to break. So I stopped using those and I tried the pill but it made me sick a lot because i didn't eat enough food through out the day and to much alcohol. I tried the "nuva ring" which didn't make me feel sick but it was annoying to take it out every time you have sex never mind how awkward it is. I just had a scare, a 5 week scare, but for some reason it's easier to wait and hope then it is to buy a pregnancy test.

It really does seem like your on the right path and I hope you stick with it!! I hope it keeps getting better for you, good luck!! : )
