"To be or not to be..that is the question" on the pill that is.
Why is it that us gals in our mid-late 20's are having this dilemma? I went off the pill roughly two years ago after being on it for 10 years...why? I wanted to know my un-drugged hormonal body :) I wanted to know my body's response to my natural hormones...verdict? I love my naturally hormonal body! In short...i'm scared the pill will take my mojo :)
I think why this is causing such a stress is that I am choosing to be responsible after the few years of rebellion and debauchery. On one hand spermicide is ok, condoms are doo-able... then on the other hand I want to have the peace of mind and also give my partner the peace of mind without all the mess (hehe)
My question is...why am I hesitant?
I certainly don't know WHY - but I can attest to similar feelings (and to the many others who have expressed this kind of angst). I'd probably bring it back to maternal instincts (of course), hormones, insight and maturity. Meaning - our bodies are ready to bear children, we are learning about ourselves better, we respect ourselves more - and ultimately, a decade of being on hormones gets in the way of all of that!?
