Tracking my cycle to avoid pregnancy
Am I the only one who is tracking my period and having sex based on my cycle? I decided to take a break from birth control and let my body breathe because I was having horrible periods that were excruciating and ended me up in the ER because I was passing massive blood clots and way too much blood. The ER doctor told me it was because of my period and I tried to change my birth control but my doctor swears up and down that I had called a month earlier and changed it yet I went and picked up what he had called in for me and it was the same damn birth control that was making my life miserable. I told him and he wouldn't change it! What the hell? So I just said forget it I'm going to give my body a break. I was on birth control for 6 years straight and I felt like it was hurting my body. Then my insurance got cancelled, so now it's been 11 months and I've been using condoms. My periods have just now gotten back to somewhat normal. I just had a period 2 weeks ago and it was a normal period with normal cramps and bleeding. It was such a relief to not be so miserable on my period. Now I'm getting more sketched out because my body is regulating and I have glow set to tell me when I'm ovulating and I tell my boyfriend and we just don't have sex. We do other things like oral and masturbate each other which in my opinion is just as fun as sex and he's fine with it too but we'd like to bang each others brains out you know?😂. I don't really know how to get birth control at the moment. I live in Oklahoma City and I don't know if planned parenthood still give it to you for free. Does it? I won't have to pay ANYTHING for it? I'm sick of condoms they start to hurt after a while and I miss having all the sex I want with my SO with no worries. I already have to pay for my asthma medicine because I have no insurance and I don't want to pay for birth control because that will just add on to all the shit I have to pay every month and at this time I don't make enough to be doing that.
