I'm 19 and a virgin, and I need advice on
contraception. I figured there's not harm
in being prepared just in case!!
I was considering going on the
contraceptive pill, not for contraceptive
reasons originally, but because I have a
bladder problem which could be hormone
related. However my doctor strongly
advised me against the contraceptive pill
when I told her I suffer from bad
migraines, because she said that it could
make migraines worse, and in some cases
has even been known to cause strokes in
people with severe migraines.
I'm now really confused because I was
speaking to my friend the other day and
she said that her sister has just been put
on the pill FOR her severe migraines.
Seem to be contradicting each other just a
little bit!
And also leads me onto the question: what
can I do contraception-wise? I have a
sensitivity to latex, so if I can't use
condoms and I can't use the pill what the
hell CAN I use?! Also I know many guys
don't like using condoms.
Man I sometimes HATE being a girl, I hate
having periods, I hate having breasts, I
hate the fact that if I have sex I risk
getting pregnant. Men have everything so
easy!
I also have an LD (dyscalculia) which
means I find keeping to times very
difficult as I'm really bad at time
management and will forget things. Does
anyone know of any methods of
contraception that are 100% reliable, and
do not involve having to take things at
specific times or days?
My mum and my friend both say I should get
a second opinion regarding the pill.
Maybe I'm just being stupid.
Or maybe I should just make it a lot
easier for myself and just NOT have sex...
