Yeah, I can't really do birth control either. When I was on it and got off of it, it ****ed with me so bad that I don't want to even consider going back on it, it was that awful. (Like legit it was to the point where my dad actually asked if I was pregnant, I was getting nauseous every day for about a month and apparently my mom did the same before she had kids).
Can't say I have multiple in 30 days. That sounds like hell. But they're usually irregular and painful and I get really pissy and not really fun to be around, and I've had ones with really bad bleeding before as well. It's something that runs in the family and it's another reason why I never want to get pregnant since my mom and my mom's mom both had severe issues with that also. My mom's mom apparently almost bled to death, actually.
To be honest, it kind of affects my day to day life so I kind of want to see a doctor about it. About six months ago I started a full time job and then went part time in the fall and in that amount of time I've emailed and had someone cover me for being sick twice. Thing is, I actually wasn't "sick" either time, it was more like "I'm in bed not wanting to move because my period started, but I don't want to really say that, so... sick it is". I've also missed classes because of it. Moreso than I have for actually being sick. So that really frustrates me, especially since (as I said) I have no desire to ever be pregnant. Having kids? Maybe. But no pregnancy for me. Based off that one experience I had with the birth control, it would be nine months of hell for me, and also likely dangerous.
(Not gonna spoiler this because I don't think this is
too heavily tmi:)
I don't want to give birth to kids either. There's a whole lot that can go wrong with your body even during normal pregnancy, some of it too graphic to mention here, and it's like, with me being a short person with a small frame, I have a sinking feeling the graphic stuff would happen to me. There's also the fact that I experience severe dysphoria if I think about myself being pregnant. No way am I subjecting myself to nine months of that.
There's also my family history of ADD, mild autism, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, cancer, and the fact that I have a rare genetic disease known as Gorlin Syndrome. Wouldn't that just be a ball of fun to saddle a poor child with?
Then there's the fun fact that chemotherapy causes severe birth defects. Having an Eraserhead baby just does not seem like a good time.
And of course, I mean no offense to those who have kids, or want to have kids. I respect and admire anyone strong enough to go through motherhood, but it isn't for me.
