I don't take birth control - I tried it a couple of times for ridiculously short periods of time (like, a month) and just didn't like the way it made me feel. I never gave my body a chance to adjust to it, though.
I don't take them now because I am concerned about the health risks of taking synthetic hormones... and I am scared it will make me retain water or gain weight. I like my body just the way it is
I am somewhat scared of pregnancy - I use condoms, but don't find myself having sex very often right now (bf is in the military and gone all the time). I am currently looking into sterilization... I'd love to get that done as I know kids aren't for me. I'm a little concerned about finding a doc to do it though (I just turned 28 and have no children).
