Hi, everyone! I'm Lauren, 19 years old, and I'm absolutely, positively quitting the pill in 2 days no matter how much my doc keeps trying to pressure me to stay on. I'm getting surgery for vestibulitis soon, too, so I don't want synthetic hormones affecting the health of my vulvar skin anymore. I always loved knowing when my period would show up on the pill, and I was thinking on how much I'd miss that.. but then it hit me, I can by paying attention to my new fertility signs!
First, what thermometer would you recommend; glass or digital? I'm poor as hell right now, so something long-lasting, relatively cheap, and accurate would be awesome. I always use condoms and am thinking of backing up with a cervical barrier; so I guess I'd say I'm TTA but mostly have it covered. Secondly, and this might sound weird.. anyone take their temperature vaginally? I've never been able to trust my oral temperatures for any reason, and I don't like things in the booty.
Otherwise, I think I've pretty much learned a lot else by checking in the memories.. but additionally, if anyone has any tips/experiences in regards to going off HBC and charting/getting back to normal, I'd love to hear that, too.
Hah, and to think I was so opposed to FAM just a few months ago.. thanks so much!
