So I know it’s more than likely not the case at all, but my mom literally told me tonight “I can’t believe you’re not pregnant. You’re probably infertile.”

Tf😒 see I’ve told my mom why I don’t use birth control. I’ve told her how I use the fertility awareness method and have for the majority of these last 5 years. Just like people track while trying to get pregnant, I track. I watch my CM, body temps, I check my cervix position. I avoid sex or use condoms during my fertile week. I have ovulation tests in bulk, I literally make him pull out with the condom on if I’m fertile.

You can’t just have sex and have a baby you have to have sex at the right time. The only time I got on birth control were the times when for some reason my cycle went off the rails and I didn’t know what was happening anymore. Regulated myself and then went right back to the fertility awareness method.

5 years, no children.

And she really looked at me and said that. It hurt my feelings and made me feel like she thought I was broken. It was the way she said it like... “I just can’t believe you aren’t pregnant you’re probably infertile.” Made me feel like I have to explain to her that you have to have an egg present to make a baby and I avoid all my eggs. It also makes me feel like she thinks I’m too stupid to successfully use the fertility awareness method

I don’t know why that hurt so much I wish I could just shake it off
