Why the fvck do I do this to myself.

Hot Sauce on a Stick

Please do not feel the need to read or respond to this post. Seriously. I just need to publically berate myself so I'll feel better. 

I do this to myself every single month.

I need to just abstain from sex.

I can't take BC because of the hormones and my OB won't use an IUD because he watched his NP almost die from one (perforated uterus + infection = scary!). So, we're using condoms. And P&P. But mostly P&P.

I'm supposed to be charting and watching my signs to know when I'm fertile and I, apparently, suck at life.

We had sex last night without a condom. Instead, we practiced the ever-effective P&P method.

This morning it dawned on me that I was probably fertile. Checked the calendar. Yep, yesterday was CD 17.

I O on CD 16, 17 or 18 every month.

Now I'll be freaking out for another 2 weeks on the off chance that one little spermie made it into enemy territory before the mission was aborted. I can't tell DH or he'll kill me (even though nothing was stopping him from covering it up...we just have an unspoken rule that I'm supposed to mention if I could possibly be fertile).

This has been, like, my 6th freak out in the (almost) 9 months since I've had Lily. It's ridiculous. I know you all are tired of hearing it, hence me telling you to ignore this post. Ugh.

Seriously. Sarah Palin was right. Abstinence is the only way.

Woman, just admit you're TTC and move on! Your eggo is preggo!

Condoms suck. I think you should just give it up and TTC!

((HUGS)) you only have a 20% chance of getting KU every month.

Under perfect conditions.

 

So stop worrying

I started wondering that myself. Like, maybe I'm subconsciously trying. If I do, though, he'll think I did it on purpose, lol.

You can't BC cause of the hormones? Does it effect you negatively?

It took us one cycle with Lily. Did I mention my husband is Mexican? I usually make him sleep outside when I'm O-ing...

I know how you feel. The mini didn't work well with me and the thought of the IUD thing scares me. We are too chicken, thank god, to do P&P. That leaves us with the condoms. I hate fvcking condoms.

I can't take them because I lose my sex drive. Like seriously, I want nothing going near my lady bits, which defeats the purpose of taking them really.

Well goodluck to you!

This whole post made me laugh.

I just find the term "pull and pray" funny.  I'm like a teenager.

Just curious...you said your OB won't do IUD's? Do you want one? because that's all fine and nice that your OB doesn't like them but what about you the customer and patient. If you want one then are you willing to find a different OB?

I have an IUD and think it works for us. I know they use low levels of hormones so I don't think it would work for you. 

I just think it's strange that OB's are generally open to doing c-sections, circs, tube ligations, vasectomies but think an IUD is unsafe and won't do them. I would think they should offer all types of contraceptives and give them their opinion/recommendation but still leave the decision up to the patient.

Well, to be honest, he said he didn't feel comfortable doing it, but he would refer me to a different doc if I wanted.

I didn't force the subject because I had the Mirena after Nate was born and it was terrible. DH could feel it to the point where the tip of his penis would be raw and irritated. I tried having it adjusted but nothing helped. (He's not circumcised, so I think that had something to do with increased sensitivity.)

I really didn't want to deal with that look on his face during sex again but it was my last option (outside of condoms) because of the hormone thing so I asked. When he said he wasn't comfortable I just went with it.

I see. That's interesting because DH isn't circumcised either and he doesn't feel the IUD at all. I have had the Mirena before TTC DD. On the second time it was placed I had it done at a different place and the Midwife did it slightly different...she actually had a ruler type tool and measured my uterus. She said that there are few different methods of placing the IUD's. I remember the conversation because I actually had another midwife in my exam room standing behind her and watching because she was trying to learn how to do it.  Anyways...GL. NastyAnnie uses the implanon (sp?) and it sounds like a sweet deal too. I just hate for you to be worried and scared every month.

I honestly think I have a naturally low cervix. DH is not very big at all. We're talking maybe 3-4 inches tops. And it hurts big time if he goes too deep. I always tell him we were made for each other because I love that his penis is small, lol

lol! Dh and I are the SAME way! guys always want to be bigger or longer and I am very happy with DH's size.

What about Implanon? It's an implant in your arm. It has the same hormones as Mirena. It basically is Mirena except it's in your arm instead of your vagina. I have it and really like it so far.

I'm wondering how mortified your DH's would be if they were aware of this conversation. LMBO
