:giggle Duh!! Wow, Im dumb. I didn't even think 2 look it up. :duh Thanks

Ok.. So I had my period the week before DF came home. And we had unprotected sex, but Im on BC Pill.. So I *should* be fine, right? I just get all freaked out sometimes, espc w/ the baby boom right now.. But I can't afford to go pick up a test right now... If I absolutly need one when it's closer to AF, I'll get one...

if you take your pill regularly, on time, every day, then the chances of you getting pregnant is very slim... but if you're worried about getting preggo, then you need to use more than 1 form of BC....

:yes

We just went with the flow. We NEVER charted when I was ovulating or anything like that...

We also just went with the flow and made sure we did it more the week after I had my cycle

Agreed. But Condoms hurt me.. After only like 5 mins. :depressed

try using lubrication...water based so as not to break down the condom and make it worthless.

Why don't you get the NuvaRing?!

IDK.. Never looked into it.. Don't know much about it.. Haven't really thought of it. When my DC is up in April/May.. I'll ask about it.. It'll probably run cheaper too..?

We do.. We HAVE to.. lol.. But IDK.. Every time we've used a condom, I don't last.. And he's never able to get off, cuz I can't go any longer..

I don't pay for mine. Check with planned parenthood and you may be able to get the state to pay for it. The only thing is you have to get a pap. but you get a years worth, on the state.

it's worth looking into www.plannedparenthood.org.

Oh, and just f.y.i it's totally comfortable and as far as I know, neither of us feel it.

I've gotten a pap ever year these past 2 years.. This next April/May is gna be my 3rd pap.. I'll talk to my doc about it..

How safe is the ring though?? Im just worried about it getting stuck or lost up there.. Or something like that.. IDK... =/

Yeah We tried the whole charting thing for awhile and then I had a job and stopped and boom we got pregnant. I Dont think you should really bother with charting until a year of not getting pregnant. It took us a year in a half to get pregnant, that is not counting when he was gone. Also, if you take your pill correctly then you shouldn't have any problems. Also, they have pregnancy tests at the dollar store that I heard were pretty good.

You should talk to your doc so that he/she can give info on all your options.
