So not to write a life story but, my bf and I have been discussing birthcontol and I honestly don't want to be on any. I was on it for 4 or 5 years back in high school ( 06 to 10) than stopped because I hated it. About a year later I found out I have 2 ovarain cysts and from time to time they cause pain but it's noting more than the usuall menstrual cramps.

I've read as much about different forms of if but the negative side affects makes me want it less. Having high anxiety doesn't help me either.( the over thinking everything sucks) I'm also at the point in my life that if I have a baby, it happends.

I love him very much and I know his opinion of condoms and his dislike for them because they are uncomfortable ( he is also uncircumcised)

The things I've read are that IUDs can :

· Move

· make sex painful

· cause memory loss

· have no period at all ( oddly I enjoy having mine and knowing I'm not pregnant)

The shot can:

· make it harder for you to become pregnant after not having it.

I don't want to gain any weight and it's hard for me to keep weight off.

I'm at a loss of what to do and I'm afraid to lose him because of this, he's not ready for kids because he wants to do so much before he has any.
