Has your doctor given you any alternatives to the bc that you're currently on?
Well, there are alternatives, but the one I have in right now I'd have to get cut out and I'm not sure if my insurance would cover that... And it just seems like such a waste, because it was such a big deal to get the stupid thing in.

I got pregnant with Eli on the pill. I never trusted the idea of the patch, and the shot sounds like a bad idea since you don't get your period. Seems unnatural to me. I guess if I wanted things to be different I would just have to use condoms or something. That's just such a pain, you know. And plus I don't want to give myself the opportunity to get myself into trouble. Ha.

I really don't know if I can deal with this though, I might have to consider something else.
