Yeah I think (no research to back this up, tho) that birth control can cause early miscarriages. <br /><br />My book came and I read it cover to cover in about 6 hours! It was packed so full of information I've never heard of in my entire life. I'm so glad I read it.<br /><br />If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you take a look at "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." It has explained in simple language the workings of the female body.<br /><br />It makes total sense. I loved it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425241289183408708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435412208231096589.post-92191519969238402362011-01-31T16:00:21.692-05:002011-01-31T16:00:21.692-05:00I totally get your confusion!

I know I struggled with deciding whether or not to go off it for over a yr before I took the plunge. The kicker for me was an early miscarriage, which I believe was caused by taking it. :-(Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092124950661014527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435412208231096589.post-64006094479622503902011-01-25T20:29:16.149-05:002011-01-25T20:29:16.149-05:00Wow, I feel like you are inside my head. :)
I hav...Wow, I feel like you are inside my head. :)<br /><br />I have been reading about fertility awareness for a few weeks, debating with myself about whether or not I should really go off the pill, but after this period I can tell you I was done!<br /><br />I am have a book coming to the library about it and I have my basal thermometer as well. Until a few months pass and my periods return to normal, I'll just make sure we're using condoms all the time.<br /><br />I'm still not sure how I feel about the pill in general. I understand what it's for, I was on it for 2-3 years, but I don't understand if it's bad to add artificial hormones to the mix or not. Is there ever a time when it would more beneficial than harmful? ... I just still have so many questions about it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425241289183408708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435412208231096589.post-59931886060373982982011-01-25T19:09:17.547-05:002011-01-25T19:09:17.547-05:00I think you made a good decision to go off the pil...I think you made a good decision to go off the pill - After I went off it, it was like I was a new person! My "old" self came back, my mood swings practically disappeared, and my "drive" returned. Plus, it's probably a whole lot healthier for your body to not be pumping it with artificial crap everyday, at least that's what I think. If you're seeking to prevent pregnancy, you should look into the Fertility Awareness Method - it can be just as effective as the pill when done right. <br /><br />Sorry you had such a bad period though! That really sucks! For me, the great thing about pregnancy and breastfeeding is that Mean Aunt Flow hasn't visited me since September 2009 :-) but I used to have horrible periods, so I definitely feel for ya!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092124950661014527noreply@blogger.com
