nervous about birth control
| Thu, 03-01-2007 - 4:35pm |
Hi everyone,
I am a stay at home mom to Sarah(3), Jacob(2), and Cain(almost 4 months). I had planned to have my tubes tied after Cain was born because I concieved 2 children while on the pill (ortho tri-cyclen lo, I took it the same time every day and never missed one) and one while breastfeeding. However after he was born I was very anemic and had a low blood platelet count and the doctor wouldn't do the procedure.
So now I am back on the pill (this time Nortrel). The first few months I had somach pains, dizziness, mood swings, and bled for probably 6 out of 8 weeks. Now it seems to be normalizing but needless to say I am still nervous after having previous pill faliures. Having another child would not be the end of the world, just very financially difficult.
Can anyone relate, or make me feel better lol.

That scares me to think that you conceived two children while on the pill- and you took it regularly! That just worries me since I do NOT want to get pregnant. :(
There is some great help on this board- I know they will give you some great advice!
