Birthcontrol

[nadi namaki]

I have made up my mind and stop taking pills from now on. I have my periods now so from This coming Sunday, i will not take BC anymore. First of all, me and my husband are not taht active, he is not the type, if u know what i mean. We are young but we might do it twice a month. Second, i am very worried about the side effects of BC longterm. Third, I am blaming my weight gain and no weight loss to that( even though i kknow its not teh case).

I already have a 5 year old son, and I am thinking if it happens, then its fine and if it does not happen, then its fine too. I really have no urge to have another child but I dont mind it either.

My marriage is fine with no problem at all, its just i am so tired of taking these everynight when we arent active.

Am I doing the right choice?

It sounds like you feel pretty strongly about it, so I'd say you're making the right choice for you, but ultimately you're the only one who knows that. Does DH know? I'd probably at least give him a heads up, just in case you get a surprise I know how you feel tho. I'm not sure I ever want to be back on hormonal BC, my body and I are happier without it

I used natural family planning for many years and really enjoyed it- (It is not the same as the rhythm method). It just helps you learn about your own body and when you can and can't conceive. I did have a surprise pregnancy, but it was my own fault- once I started perimenopause I just assumedI couldn't get pregnant- but when I followed the rules of NFP it was easy.

You could do an internet search to read up on it and see if it is something you are interested in- it might give you a little more control over matters. (I liked the billings method--)

Good luck! I know I felt much better after I quit taking bcp-
