May the charge taking begin!

I was doing the math and realized that I have been on the Pill now for at least 4 maybe 5 years... too long. Its not that I'm necessarily against the Pill, it has worked for plenty of women, I've just had numerous problems with it. With that said, every MD I've talked to has only been willing to switch the brand as the only option to combat the various side effects and since the hubs and I aren't at a place where we want to introduce children into the mix, I've gone with it. Until recently.

ABD recently recommended the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility and thus far it has read well and gives a sense of empowerment and control.

Its also a bit daunting.

I appreciate the understanding and knowlegde of the inner workings or my body (too many women know too little, I believe) but to think that the consequences of missreading or being lazy may end up with an 18 year responsibility is sobering. I'm still reading and haven't commited yet, but it does offer hope to those, myself included, wanting to get off the Pill and a natural way of controling such things in life.

I'll keep you posted...
