I'm not sure why you feel this way about something so natural to your body.

Nobody does, so maybe I should just not talk about it.
In MY reality , it's NOT natural, and I have no idea why you guys think it is. I've always felt like this. Always. It just wasn't an issue until I hit puberty and I started bleeding uncontrollably. It lasted for almost a week. It was the most disgusting thing and it was horrible. Yes, I'd had sex ed and they told us what to "expect" but I didn't think it applied to me because I'm not like everyone else. I'm not like them. I'm different so I don't have to go through that nonsense. And there it was, inside me, hiding out, waiting to ruin my life and make me weak. Maybe it's natural in you guys' world, but it sure wasn't in mine.

I don't need birth control - I'm fixed. Since my doctor OBVIOUSLY won't "treat" anything that doesn't "need" to be done, I can't count on her to give me birth control - even if it would help. I remember trying to take the pill, and I had to take it at EXACTLY the same time every day, and even then I would get "breakthrough spotting". Same thing as a period, just a little less of it and ALL THE TIME. Ick, Ick, Ick.

Are pills that much better these days? Do these other methods (coil? arm thingy?) have the same problem as the Depo shot with your bone mass? My bones are finally on the mend, and I don't think I want to try anything that would make them worse again.

Besides, I smoke so pills would kill me. That's what the other doctor said. Since I smoke, I would get a blood clot and have a stroke and die (or worse).
