I can’t be on birth control due to family history. There’s non-hormonal birth control such as IUD that my OBGYN mentioned. She also said that it’s an option but not necessary as long as I am practicing safe sex (condoms).

I also have both PCOS and Endometriosis. Which does not make things any easier.

As for condoms, it turns out I’m allergic to latex. I found out the hard way 😖

Now, the guy I’ve been seeing does not know that I am not on birth control. We just haven’t had this conversation since it never came up (which I find weird). I want him to know since there is that small chance that I can get pregnant, slim but there. How would you bring it up?

BTW we use a condom every time we are together.

I want to send this text. What do you think?

We've never had this conversation, but I think you should know. I'm not on birth control since I can't be on hormones due to family history. But I am careful. I track my cycle and see my OBGYN every 3-6 months.
