[Hermann the Cherusker]

My fiancee is Catholic, and she knows that it can cause an abortion. However, her cycles are so irregular without it, that the pain cannot be controlled by simple pain medication and exercise. She also needs it to prevent ovarian cysts. Also, she might not even survive having a child (she has lots of medical problems).

There are certainly other methods to treat these problems.

However, she does not use it as birth control. We take other precautions, instead.

Oh, wonderful. So she is on the pill, you are both unmarried and apparently having sex, and you are using other forms of birth control.

Three strikes and you are out in my book. Does your fiancee really consider herself Catholic? I sure don't, because for starters she is most likely under an automatic excommunication for procuring an abortion through use of the pill.

None work nearly as well as using birth control. And considering this comes from someone who called her extreme pain a "mild discomfort", your opinion is generally worthless on this subject.

And we live together too! Welcome to the 21st century!Does your fiancee really consider herself Catholic? I sure don't

Like I said before, I could really care less about your opinion. Both of us would rather that she be on the pill, so that she can actually do things during her period, like go to work. If you had seen the kind of pain she was in before she started taking the pill, you would agree.
