PREGNANCY, BIRTH CONTROL, INFERTILITY

February 6, 2010

OH MY!

I’m late. This occurs quite a bit but I had a bit of a snafu with the pill earlier this month which makes “I’m ‘late” much worse than the usual “I’m late”.  Get me?  Its more of a “holy shit… I’m late. I really don’t want to push anything out of my vag in 9 months.”  My younger brothers and sisters are usually a reminder to take my birth control pill religiously daily at the same time.

Side Note:  I hate the pill. I gained the 10 lbs.  It makes me an even more volatile bitch.  Sex drive? Pfft..  Let’s not even go there. I hate all things related to taking the pill with the exception of its reliability rate when taken CORRECTLY!  I wish more than anything I could discontinue the pill without worrying about getting Preggo, but its really not an option. The pill is the most reliable option for me.  Who is going to invent the on/off switch to a woman’s ovaries?   Anyhoots… go read this post which sparked me to blog about my aggravations with the tiny little white pill many take daily.

As of lately I feel as if I have been bombarded with all things “baby” or lack there of.  It freaks me out.  Everything is a sign to me; flipping the channel to “Little People Adopt” to “16 and Pregnant” to blogs about infertility or blogs about 1st time pregnancy.  It doesn’t help that Armani’s sister is expecting her first child in April and the baby shower is next weekend. One thing I have always known is I love shopping for baby clothes.  Sigh… matching booties, socks, mittens, and hats!

All things pregnancy freak  for more reasons than one.  I never thought I was maternal in nature.  Crying babies, children running around stores, and awkward teenagers or even worse rebellious teenagers scare the living shit out of me.  I’m the oldest of 6.  This could be the reason why.  I feel I co-parent(ed) my 15 year old sister and crying babies, dirty diapers, and temper tantrums are 2nd nature to me. Having a baby?  I just  have recently came to the terms that I have to take care of myself, how am I supposed to care for another person?  I work for Jelly Beans.  I cannot afford diapers, formula, and baby wipes!  I never thought I wanted a child of my own.

This has changed since growing up quite a bit this past year and meeting Armani.  I know I want to have a child, preferably at the age of 34 not 28.  The fertility blogs make me wonder if I willl ever be able to conceive and if my plan of doing so at 34-35 will fail miserably and leave me too old and infertile.

I have always been pro-choice and in my mind if I was to have an unplanned pregnancy I would abort the pregnancy.

The scary part?

Armani is not pro-choice and I am unsure if I feel the same way as I did before I “grew” up.  I am still pro-choice but I do not think that would be an option for me right now.  I’m 28 years old.  There are women out there who are struggling with infertility.  The excuse of a pregnancy being unplanned is no longer valid.

LETS NOT GET JUDGY JUDGE JUDGY!

In conclusion, the scary part about the missing period in question is the fact that I have grown up and abortion is no longer an option.

How should I say this? Where should I begin?

My name is K and I am no longer a phone sex virgin.

How did that sound?

Tell me its okay.  Tell me everyone does it.  Tell me you have.  Tell me I wont get pregnant.

Lets just hope that the prospect is just as attentive as he is descriptive.  Swooooooon!

Note:  I was going to post this picture instead of the above but then I thought about it and I had phone sex last night which means I am uber sexy, mature, and confident. Right?  This is not a time for jokes!

Idle hands

Draw penises?!?

Not like I needed one but I found myself doodling at work yesterday (forgive me I am not a great artist) -

Yes my friends that is my poor doodle of a penis.  My idle hands drew a penis.  Can you tell what I am lacking?

Im thinking about volunteering at a brothel.

If I am not “that” girl then what girl am I?

Want to get personal?

L and I got into quite a personal conversation the other day on the way to our endless soup, salad, and breadstick lunch date. As I have said before L is my brother’s girlfriend of 8-years, needless to say we dont talk about her sex life. I have always felt a tad bit uncomfortable talking about mine but things are changing. We are both maturing - we are late bloomers damnit! L claimed she was a virgin until about a year ago when she confessed she was indeed not a pure innocent virgin. SHOCK! Not.

Anyways..

I was the girl who claimed she slept with guys but didnt. I wanted to feel “cool” within my group of friends. I wanted so badly to fit in that I lied - I guess some can argue this approach was better than doing things I didnt feel comfortable doing but I was never secure with myself which is never a good thing.

I lost my virginity at the ripe age of 21 to the first greek ass I dated (the guy I was going to go out for drinks with the other night). Even he, as impossible as this may sound, didnt know I was losing my virginity to him. I hid it. I felt ashamed. Why did I lose my virginity? Nothing but curiosity. We were only dating for about two months before I decided I was going to go for the plunge and if I could have it a different way I would have slept with my first boyfriend, we had an 8 month relationship and I didnt give it up. I was 20 years old and he was 23 years old. Needless to say he cheated on my ass but then again I didnt confess to him I was indeed the big “V”. No excuse. There is never an excuse for cheating.

My next sexual partner was the “abusive ex” who I wont speak of much on this blog because it was a shitty relationship that I dont like to relive. He lowered my self-esteem to NOTHING and I gave it up because I thought he was KING but he was far from it. We were together off and on for about a year until I was strong enough to get the fuck out and escape the emotional abuse.

I left this relationship with a self-esteem ricktering the scales at ZERO. I remained single for approximately a year.

I wasnt looking for anyone but I met the ExAss. Our coffee date became a 2-year relationship. We took things slow but we both fell hard. He treated me so much better than the abusive asshole and I had mature feelings for him. This was the first time in my life that I uttered the L word, it was after about three months of us dating exclusively. I had expectations but kept them hidden. We slept together after about 2 months and we slept together because I wanted to. I felt it was time and I trusted him. I was so nervous and scared. I covered my eyes when we had sex for the first couple of months! I told L this the other day and she couldnt believe it. Yup.. Im not a sex goddess.

As time went on I fully trusted him with everything. I became that sex goddess because he helped me feel beautiful and accepted me for me. (getting a little watery eyed) For the first time in my life I was confident and unfortunately I must give some credit to him.

When we broke up that confidence diminished - I lost it all. This is what I get for having a crutch. You cant love yourself using someone else to help you out. It doesnt work that way.

Where am I now? Well, Im gaining the self-confidence I need to establish on my own before persuing a relationship. Its a slow hard process that I am willing to work hard at. For the first time in my life I know I deserve this.

I have been throwing around the words “one night stand” and “summer fling” around quite a bit. I expressed my thoughts with L and really I dont think I am “that” girl. Unfortunately, I dont think I have it in me. I really say this truthfully. I wish I was more of a free spirit who did what she felt. Im dont putting thought into this aspect. If a one night stand or summer fling comes along then it does and we will see if I reject or accept but Im not the girl who goes out looking. I do know with L’s help that I am not going to waste my 1st one night stand or 1st summer fling on the guy who took my virginity, Ex Greek Ass #1.

What does my future hold? I guess we will all have to wait and find out.
