Why I choose to use a Fertility Awareness Method, even though I have a serious reason to avoid pregnancy

The only fix for my issues was a hysterectomy. They attempted to get me onto a regular cycle with the pill, because I had a cycle that lasted for over a year, with regular blood transfusions required. The pill brought other issues, like mood swings, weight gain, and acne, along with (amazingly) even heavier bleeding, despite having breaks between cycles. It wasn’t worth it.

I couldn’t have children anyway, so there was no huge loss on my part.

As a physician assistant specializing in OB/GYN, I have prescribed birth control to everyone for everything . . . irregular cycles, painful periods, unusual bleeding, PMS, acne, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, perimenopause and, of course, to avoid pregnancy.

Don’t forget toothache and toenail fungus.

I am wondering when trans men will demand that health insurance cover the cost of their birth control.

Despite miss marmelstein’s apparent lack of empathy, I am grateful you posted this article.
