Yes went off hormonal BC a few years ago (I'm married and it was mutually decided). I used NFP/charting and withdrawal to prevent successfully for several years. Then when we wanted to have a baby, I already knew my cycles and knew the exact days I was fertile.

Tracking your ovulation and pulling out and/or not allowing ejaculate in you around your ovulation time is fine. I've been doing it for 7 years and no incidents. You have to be regular and always count from the day your period started.

You guys are idiots. Pulling out is the LEAST effective form of birth control. Just get a fucking IUD or be prepared to abort.

For sure! Trust me, I spent years feeling bad about this bc nobody ever talks about it. I'm now 31 and have seen that this is much more common than people think. I actually think that NFP done right is intriguing for a lot of reasons. Since I'm in this bind, I hope to one day be able to implement it. It sounds like a good way to keep your body in balance and hopefully avoid fertility treatments, but we'll see. Good luck! You're ok!

Mirena nearly wrecked my body. Had it removed last week. Doc ordered an ultrasound because the removal was so painful.

D1, yep they can! So can stress. A lot of things can affect ovulation, which is why it's really important to learn everything about it before relying on it as BC. If anyone is interested, the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is a great resource for learning how to track ovulation to either prevent pregnancy or achieve pregnancy. For example like you were referring to, Mucinex encourages mucous production in the body in all areas. This means it causes more cervical mucous, which makes you MORE fertile. I took it during my ovulation window when trying to get pregnant and it helped 👍🏻

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through.

I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?
