Speaker 1: What's up you guys. Okay, so this midweek mom chat,
Speaker 1: I am going into be talking about sex, well, how
Speaker 1: to not get pregnant while having sex, because obviously sex
Speaker 1: mix babies, and for me in particular, um, I had
Speaker 1: a C section, and so it's not safe for me
Speaker 1: to get pregnant for a year, um just because and
Speaker 1: I'm sure some people who've had c sections have gotten
Speaker 1: pregnant sooner than a year. Actually think I have some
Speaker 1: friends who have gotten pregnant sooner than a year, um
Speaker 1: who've had a C section. But my gynecologists recommended that
Speaker 1: we definitely went a year just so my body can
Speaker 1: completely heal because with a C section, they like literally,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know everyone knows this, but cut you open,
Speaker 1: cut your uterus open, and that has to heal back up.
Speaker 1: The scar tissue has to get healed, and everything's got
Speaker 1: to get good and tight again. So I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to get pregnant anytime soon because I just don't want.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, I'm just scared, like my
Speaker 1: guts would rip open or something if I got pregnant.
Speaker 1: It would hurt me, I'd lose the baby, all the things.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm going down a rabbit hole. I have
Speaker 1: no idea if that would happen, and I'm sure I
Speaker 1: could get pregnant right now. It probably would be fine.
Speaker 1: But I'm just following my gynecologist what she recommended because
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense to me. So because
Speaker 1: of that, I will not be I don't want to
Speaker 1: be getting pregnant. So that means I need to get
Speaker 1: on birth control because a year of pulling and praying
Speaker 1: and all that like that, just, um, that's not gonna
Speaker 1: work for me in my current situation. If I hadn't
Speaker 1: had had if I hadn't had how do I say this,
Speaker 1: hadn't had had a c section? Say that six times fast.
Speaker 1: If I hadn't had a c section and I had
Speaker 1: had a bad general birth, I would not get on
Speaker 1: birth control because Michael and I most likely want to
Speaker 1: have another child, and I'm thirty six years old and
Speaker 1: so it's not like I'm getting any younger and times
Speaker 1: of the essence to have a baby. So I probably
Speaker 1: would not get on birth control if I had had
Speaker 1: a vaginal birth. But since that's not our situation, I
Speaker 1: am so I have been on a lot of different
Speaker 1: birth controls. I was on the pill forever, and that
Speaker 1: was fine. It's just like, you have to take a
Speaker 1: pill every single day, and if you miss a pill,
Speaker 1: then you have this chance of getting pregnant, and then
Speaker 1: you have to take like two pills the next day.
Speaker 1: You have to take it at the exact same time
Speaker 1: every single day. And some people will crush at that
Speaker 1: and they're doing great. For me, that just feels like
Speaker 1: a lot to remember, especially right now where I'm just
Speaker 1: in the big middle of newborn phase. The last thing
Speaker 1: I want to have to think about is taking a
Speaker 1: birth control pill and if I miss it then I
Speaker 1: could get pregnant. Like so that just feels too stressful
Speaker 1: for me. So that's out not doing the pill. Um.
Speaker 1: I've done the new ver ring before, and I actually
Speaker 1: really liked the new ring. That's the one that you
Speaker 1: put in vaginally and it's just like a ring that
Speaker 1: you put in vaginally, and I did that for years.
Speaker 1: I thought the new ring was awesome, Okay, but then
Speaker 1: there was a big negative side effect of the new
Speaker 1: ring for me, and it gave me malasma. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if that happens for everyone, but for me,
Speaker 1: it gave me malasmas. So I ended up getting really
Speaker 1: dark um like stained skin under my eyes and on
Speaker 1: my lips, so it looks like I had just like
Speaker 1: a mustache in like a dirty face, and it was
Speaker 1: not fun. I could not get it off. I had
Speaker 1: to do like chemical peels to get it off. I
Speaker 1: end up getting off the new ring and it just did.
Speaker 1: The malasma was too big of a side effect for
Speaker 1: me to not enjoy that at all. But I did
Speaker 1: really like the new ring, So that was something that
Speaker 1: um that would be the one that I would recommend
Speaker 1: with hormone is in it just as far as convenience,
Speaker 1: because you put it in once a month, you change
Speaker 1: it every month, and it's just like set it and
Speaker 1: forget it. So I really liked that one, but not
Speaker 1: the elasma. So then I moved on to an i
Speaker 1: U D. The last type of birth control I got
Speaker 1: before getting pregnant was an iu D, and I just
Speaker 1: I'm already emotional enough without hormones extra hormones being added
Speaker 1: to my life. So I really thought the paraguard was
Speaker 1: a great option for me because it's just a copper
Speaker 1: I U D and the copper makes the sperm and
Speaker 1: the egg um repel like it doesn't let them come together,
Speaker 1: so it's like oil and water, so there's no hormones
Speaker 1: and it's been around forever and so to me that
Speaker 1: felt like a really great and so I got that
Speaker 1: put in probably I don't know, five years ago, and
Speaker 1: I had it for like five years or maybe like
Speaker 1: six years ago and I had it for like five
Speaker 1: years because it lasts for ten years, which is also
Speaker 1: another thing that's awesome. You put it in and it
Speaker 1: lasts for another The last for ten years. And there's
Speaker 1: some MutS like the Marina, and I don't know what
Speaker 1: other kinds are there are, but they have like some
Speaker 1: hormones in them. I didn't want one with hormones. I
Speaker 1: won one with no hormones, and so I had the
Speaker 1: paragraph for like five years. The first six months I
Speaker 1: had the paraguard Um, I had really heavy periods. I
Speaker 1: had a lot of spotting. It was painful, like it
Speaker 1: definitely hurt, and that was a negative side effect. But
Speaker 1: over time it stopped hurting and it was great and
Speaker 1: it was just so easy to have. So I really
Speaker 1: liked that. So yesterday I went back to my guy
Speaker 1: No and I got the guard put in again, and
Speaker 1: I was really nervous because when I got it put
Speaker 1: in the first time, like six years ago, it hurt
Speaker 1: like a mother to get it inserted, like literally hurt
Speaker 1: so badly, and then I was like, had terrible cramps afterwards.
Speaker 1: I literally had to take the day off and just
Speaker 1: give in to my pain and just like lay down
Speaker 1: take a bath because it was so painful. So I
Speaker 1: was really nervous and preparing for a lot of pain
Speaker 1: and cramps and all of that. But I have to say,
Speaker 1: maybe it's because my uterus has been stretched out five
Speaker 1: thousand times bigger than it was before, or I have
Speaker 1: no idea what. But it was a little sore, like
Speaker 1: it hurt a little bit when she um put the
Speaker 1: clamp into like I guess insert the paraguard. But after
Speaker 1: that it was great. It was so easy, Like I
Speaker 1: didn't have any cramping afterwards. There's a little bleeding afterwards.
Speaker 1: But like now I've had it, I guess a day
Speaker 1: or two. I can't remember remember when I got it.
Speaker 1: I think I got it yesterday, maybe the day before. Um,
Speaker 1: and it's been great. I haven't had any negative side effects,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, woo hoo, this is awesome. UM. So
Speaker 1: I have to say from my experience, the birth control
Speaker 1: that I personally like is the Paraguard. That is just
Speaker 1: my experience. I am sure some people out there hate
Speaker 1: the Paraguard because it does cause cramping and pain and
Speaker 1: there are side effects. I mean, okay, yesterday I forgot
Speaker 1: I did have a little bit of traveling pain like
Speaker 1: I had. I would get like a sharp, a sharp
Speaker 1: shooting pain, and different parts of my body, like my
Speaker 1: lower right growing area, I had a sharp shooting pain
Speaker 1: and then like transferred to my other side and it
Speaker 1: kind of like traveled around my body for a little while,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't anything bad, and it just lasted for
Speaker 1: like a few hours and then I was going. So overall,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I really liked the Paraguard and I
Speaker 1: really like it now, and this experience has been even
Speaker 1: better than the first time I got it. So if
Speaker 1: you're asking me what my opinion on birth control is UM,
Speaker 1: especially after you've had a baby and you're not trying
Speaker 1: to have another baby, I think a lot. I think
Speaker 1: the pool and pray method works for sure if you
Speaker 1: don't care about getting pregnant again and you've that and
Speaker 1: you vaginally um birth to your child and it's safe
Speaker 1: for you to get pregnant, and say you did get pregnant,
Speaker 1: you you'd be fine for me with a C section.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, um, it wasn't safe for me.
Speaker 1: Not too And let's be real, he wants to use
Speaker 1: condoms every time, not us, So sorry, husband happy kind
Speaker 1: of talking about her sex l but not really just
Speaker 1: vaguely talking about birth control. So the paraguard is the winner, winner,
Speaker 1: chicken dinner for me. So that is my thoughts on it.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna answer some of y'all's questions because a
Speaker 1: lot of you'll have questions about birth control. Shocking opinion
Speaker 1: on birth control pills while breastfeeding. Okay, that's another thing
Speaker 1: i've heard. Another reason I'm do you ask that question?
Speaker 1: Another reason why I did not want to get on
Speaker 1: a pill because I don't want to take one every
Speaker 1: day and I don't want hormones. But also I have
Speaker 1: heard that taking a birth control pill does affect your
Speaker 1: breasts milk supply and it decreases it. So I don't
Speaker 1: want to do anything to mess with my milk supply
Speaker 1: because my milk supply is awesome, and I'm really I'm
Speaker 1: navigating breastfeeding I'm trying to figure out my pumping to
Speaker 1: breastfeeding ratio, but my milk supply is awesome and I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to mess with that, so i don't want
Speaker 1: anything to interfere with that. So that's another reason why
Speaker 1: I would not want to get on the birth control pill. Um.
Speaker 1: Someone says, I don't trust the withdrawal method. That's how
Speaker 1: I got prego with my son exactly. UM, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it doesn't work, but you are playing with fire
Speaker 1: when you are pulling a praying and so I think that, Um,
Speaker 1: that is definitely not a method I want to trust.
Speaker 1: Another Sorry t m I any. I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: a guy listening to this, bless you, because I mean
Speaker 1: this is some straight woman talk. Right now, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you another little trick, um that I have figured
Speaker 1: out when I was trying to get pregnant. The guys,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, if you're listening to this, shut your ears
Speaker 1: because this is gonna gross you out. This is for
Speaker 1: my women out there who are seriously wanting to know
Speaker 1: about birth control and ovulation and babies and all all
Speaker 1: things having to do with this. Okay, So I warned
Speaker 1: you guys. Um, ladies, you can tell when you're ovulating
Speaker 1: because of your discharge. I don't know if you knew that,
Speaker 1: but you definitely can't like if it is so I
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm gonna talk about this, but this is
Speaker 1: real live talk. If it is like white and pasty,
Speaker 1: that means that you are getting your ovulations coming, it's
Speaker 1: getting closer. If it starts getting like clear and stretchy,
Speaker 1: but it's still got white pasted in ovulations coming coming
Speaker 1: and getting closer, you're probably a day or two away.
Speaker 1: And once it is clear and like slimy and really stretchy,
Speaker 1: that pretty much means you're ovulating. So that's another way
Speaker 1: to just check your ovulation. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: happens when you're breastfeeding, because you don't really have a
Speaker 1: period when you're breastfeeding. So I have no idea if
Speaker 1: that discharge method works to tell when you're ovulating. But
Speaker 1: I do know that that has um been dead on
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I'm not a doctor, so don't
Speaker 1: don't like quote me on that, but I have looked
Speaker 1: it up and I have like read about that, and
Speaker 1: um for me personally, I would when I was taking
Speaker 1: the ovulation kits. Like when I was peeing on those sticks,
Speaker 1: it always matched my discharge. So like when you get
Speaker 1: the flashing smiley face and your ovulation kit, that meant
Speaker 1: that you're getting close to ovulating, and my discharge would
Speaker 1: be like like clear and stretchy with white pace in it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry this is gross to talk about. I know,
Speaker 1: but I told you guys, it's your own fault if
Speaker 1: you're listening, and the same thing when I was emulating,
Speaker 1: it would be that like stretchy clear kind So I'm
Speaker 1: sorry if that's too am I. But my podcast is
Speaker 1: called Get Real, right, so I'm trying to get real
Speaker 1: with you guys anyway. So there's that. Um let's see,
Speaker 1: I just got an I U D and the verdict
Speaker 1: is out if I like it or not. Okay. Well,
Speaker 1: and that's so true because it's there are side effects
Speaker 1: of the I D. I know it can cause a
Speaker 1: lot of cramping and heavy periods and I don't know
Speaker 1: what else, but I have experienced cramping and heavy periods
Speaker 1: with it so far. I'm having a great experience round
Speaker 1: two with my paraguard. But yeah, it's definitely that is
Speaker 1: a side effect. Not about birth control. But please do
Speaker 1: a chat on breastfeeding. Okay, I'll talk more about breastfeeding.
Speaker 1: I'm still navigating breastfeeding. The only thing that's going that
Speaker 1: it's going consistent for me is that I'm having a
Speaker 1: really solid milk supply, and I'm very thankful for that.
Speaker 1: I'm still figuring out how to feed if I want
Speaker 1: to feed her bottles with breast milk in it, or
Speaker 1: if I breastfeed. What I kind of am landing on
Speaker 1: right now is I give her about half of her
Speaker 1: feedings just bottles, And right now she's eating five ounces
Speaker 1: five to six ounces each feeding, and I like to
Speaker 1: give her a bottle of it. In that way, Michael
Speaker 1: can feed her also and I don't have to be
Speaker 1: the only one feeding her, which is really nice and helpful,
Speaker 1: so he can take some of the shifts um. And
Speaker 1: then when I do breastfeed her, I always like to
Speaker 1: top her off with a bottle because she'll only eat
Speaker 1: about ten minutes on on my boob, and then after
Speaker 1: that she's like done and I can't get her to
Speaker 1: nurse anymore, and so I'll get a bottle. She likes
Speaker 1: it warm. Oh my gosh, Sunny likes a warm bottle.
Speaker 1: She will not take cold milk, no, sir, ree. She
Speaker 1: wants a warm bottle, and I'll heat her up a
Speaker 1: bottle and okay, I have something in my throw. I
Speaker 1: might have to get up and get some water unless
Speaker 1: I can just swallow and make this tickle go away. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: she looks a warm bottle, and so I will top
Speaker 1: her off with like two or three ounces. I just
Speaker 1: breastfed her this last feeding, and she ate for like
Speaker 1: ten minutes, and I figured, like normally when she does it,
Speaker 1: I've been able to measure it because I like pump.
Speaker 1: I pumped right after I fed her before, and on
Speaker 1: a full boob, I get like six seven ounces, like
Speaker 1: full boob when I haven't nursed her fed in like
Speaker 1: five six hours, which is probably going too long. Off
Speaker 1: of that boob, um, I'll have like six or seven
Speaker 1: ounces in it. And so I've pumped before after she's eaten,
Speaker 1: and I'll get like three ounces out of it. So
Speaker 1: that lets me know that she eats about two to
Speaker 1: three ounces when she breastfeeds on me, which is not
Speaker 1: near enough. So I will put like three ounces in
Speaker 1: a bottle and top her off with that. So I
Speaker 1: just fed her, nursed her, and she ate for ten minutes,
Speaker 1: and I thought, okay, she probably got like three ounces.
Speaker 1: I'll give her three ounces. That's air on the more.
Speaker 1: That's giving her more than she's gonna need, is what
Speaker 1: I thought. And she ate three ounces from the bottle,
Speaker 1: and then I gave her another ounce and she had
Speaker 1: another ounce, so she ate four ounces plus eating on
Speaker 1: my eating breast nursing for ten minutes. So I have
Speaker 1: no idea how much she's getting breastfeeding, but the fact
Speaker 1: that she eat four ounces after eating um breastfeeding, I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, you know, I'm just it's I'm glad
Speaker 1: I'm topping her off because I do not want her
Speaker 1: to be hungry. So that's kind of what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: feeding her bottles with five to six ounces in it
Speaker 1: each feeding, and then breastfeeding her probably two or three
Speaker 1: of the times, and then topping her off with a
Speaker 1: bottle for now. That's what I'm doing. UM. I am
Speaker 1: subject to change because it is a working project progress
Speaker 1: and every day is different. I'm so glad you're doing this.
Speaker 1: I'm set up to getting an I U D soon
Speaker 1: and I'm nervous. I get it. I was really nervous. Actually,
Speaker 1: this last time I went to my guy that I
Speaker 1: was sort of almost had a little panic attack because
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, it's gonna hurt so bad.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've just had a C section, mind you,
Speaker 1: but I was completely numb, so I didn't feel it.
Speaker 1: But um, it did hurt. I mean it hurts. It's
Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna lie. There's some pain involved, but
Speaker 1: it's mine's worth it. Um Someone said Marina at last
Speaker 1: five years, sadly, I'm about to retire my second one
Speaker 1: ten years. No periods Oh, I guess the Morina, you
Speaker 1: don't have a period? Weird? Okay, well, I guess if
Speaker 1: you don't want to, if you don't want to have
Speaker 1: a period, then that's a good thing. I kind of
Speaker 1: like having a period. I don't know. I just feel
Speaker 1: like it's like it's natural and like you need to
Speaker 1: have a period every month. But that's just my opinion.
Speaker 1: I have no backing. I don't know why I feel
Speaker 1: that way. I have nothing to back that, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's probably awesome not to have a period, so
Speaker 1: I would look into that. Ladies, if you're wanting to
Speaker 1: not to have a period. Um, No, hate just don't
Speaker 1: believe in birth control. I totally get that. You know, like,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons not to believe in birth control,
Speaker 1: religious religion, reasons, religious reasons, um, personal reasons, whatever your
Speaker 1: reasons are. I totally get it and support that. And
Speaker 1: you know you've got to do you so amen to that. UM.
Speaker 1: I had twins by c section. They were five months old,
Speaker 1: I found out I was pregnant with another set of twins. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I guess you can get pregnant. She's five. She
Speaker 1: had twins by c section and then five months later
Speaker 1: pregnant with another set of twins. So I'm guessing you
Speaker 1: can get pregnant before a year after a C section.
Speaker 1: According to this person, Wow, two sets of twins, go mama.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I hope you live in your family
Speaker 1: because you need help. That is a lot of babies.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, God bless you seriously. That's amazing. UM.
Speaker 1: New Ring rocks not as intense as an I dy,
Speaker 1: but I don't have to take a pill every day.
Speaker 1: I totally am with you on that. If I was
Speaker 1: gonna do a hormonal birth control, I would do the
Speaker 1: New Ring except for the melasma that. I did not
Speaker 1: enjoy that, but that was I agree. New ring was easy.
Speaker 1: It was great. I didn't have to think about it.
Speaker 1: Would you go back on birth control until you try
Speaker 1: to have another baby? Yep, I just did. I have
Speaker 1: a paraguard, so I would totally do that. Um. Yes,
Speaker 1: So wonder how they affect me the pill hormonally? The
Speaker 1: pill made me crazy. The pill made me crazy, you know.
Speaker 1: I think the hormones kind of affected me and made
Speaker 1: me a little crazy too. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I could have just been crazy because it was in
Speaker 1: my twenties, and I mean, who knows. I think, at
Speaker 1: least for me, I was definitely figuring out life hardcore
Speaker 1: in my twenties, so maybe I was just crazy in
Speaker 1: my head already. But I do think hormones can affect
Speaker 1: you for sure. I mean I know how they affected
Speaker 1: me after I had Sunny, when I was losing all
Speaker 1: my pregnancy hormones. I mean that was a major hormonal swing.
Speaker 1: So hormones definitely can affect you. PHO show um, go
Speaker 1: for it, go for birth control. Breastfeeding is not birth control.
Speaker 1: That's how my second oldest came along. Um let's see
Speaker 1: what she said. I work in an ob ga in
Speaker 1: and so many women get pregnant by not going on something.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing I mean, I think. I think
Speaker 1: it's totally cool. If you're okay with like getting pregnant again,
Speaker 1: that's great. But if you don't want to get pregnant again,
Speaker 1: you're super hormonal. I mean super hormonal, yes, but you're
Speaker 1: super super fertile. After you have a baby, Like I think,
Speaker 1: you are so much more fertile, and you can get
Speaker 1: pregnant so much more easy, easier because your body is like, oh,
Speaker 1: we know how to do this, this is what we're
Speaker 1: used to, and you can just get pregnant really fast.
Speaker 1: So you just gotta be real careful. Marina is the
Speaker 1: queen of birth control. Okay, that's that same iu D
Speaker 1: that that one person said did not give them a period,
Speaker 1: So check that out if you guys are interested in
Speaker 1: not having a period and having an io d. Um.
Speaker 1: I love my io D. I'm so ready. That's someone said,
Speaker 1: I love my io DI. I agree, I love my
Speaker 1: io D. Also, I'm so ready for anything but the pill.
Speaker 1: It's making my face discolored melasma. Yes, I am with you, girl.
Speaker 1: The hormones made my face discolored and gave me a
Speaker 1: mill asthma, and I was just not into that at all.
Speaker 1: Like I know, I feel you, So I mean my recommendation.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm not a doctor, and you need everyone
Speaker 1: needs to go do their own research and make this
Speaker 1: decision for yourself. I'm just giving you my opinions that
Speaker 1: are based on nothing other than my experience. I have
Speaker 1: no medical training. I just want to say that for
Speaker 1: the record. I know everyone knows that, but I don't
Speaker 1: want anyone to take this like I'm some professional. This
Speaker 1: is just my random opinion of someone who has lived
Speaker 1: through lots of different types of birth control and who
Speaker 1: is currently not trying to get pregnant after having a baby,
Speaker 1: So just I want to say that. Um, but I
Speaker 1: agree the milasma was awful, So there you go. The
Speaker 1: pill makes me crazy. HUBS doesn't like condoms using spermicidal
Speaker 1: loose sperm spermicide loop. I've never tried that before. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have no idea if that work. But spermicide lou interesting.
Speaker 1: I think I think I knew that existed. I'd be
Speaker 1: interested to look that up and see, um, to see
Speaker 1: if that really does work. But go you if that does,
Speaker 1: and that's a great solution. Um, have you heard of
Speaker 1: have you heard of or thought about natural family planning?
Speaker 1: The only all natural birth control. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: what that means. Does that mean that you just follow
Speaker 1: your ovulation? I would need to look up natural family planning.
Speaker 1: I do think, um, learning your when you ovulate, and
Speaker 1: like following your ovulation cycle is another really good way
Speaker 1: too to not get pregnant if you aren't wanted to
Speaker 1: get on birth control, but you just run the risk
Speaker 1: that you could. You know, it's just not nothing is
Speaker 1: percent but um, And it's so funny because before I
Speaker 1: got pregnant, you spend your whole life trying not to
Speaker 1: get pregnant. And then when I was wanting to have
Speaker 1: a baby, when we decided we were ready, you think,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'll just get pregnant right away, and
Speaker 1: then you realize it is I mean, some people get
Speaker 1: pregnant right away, but for a lot of women, including myself,
Speaker 1: it is so difficult to get pregnant, like really hard,
Speaker 1: if not impossible in some cases. And it makes me
Speaker 1: not It made me not want to get on birth
Speaker 1: control again, because I really do think we probably will
Speaker 1: want to have another child. But at this point, just
Speaker 1: like I've told you on the beginning of this podcast,
Speaker 1: with like my C section needing to let my body heal,
Speaker 1: a year is a long time to try to navigate
Speaker 1: without birth control, and so we're getting on it. But
Speaker 1: because it was so hard for us to get pregnant,
Speaker 1: I definitely would not probably have wanted to get on it,
Speaker 1: just because what if it takes another year for us
Speaker 1: to get pregnant. What if we can't get pregnant. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to have anything making it more difficult
Speaker 1: to get pregnant because it was so hard. So I
Speaker 1: get that. Um, let's see the pill. Yeah, okay, birth
Speaker 1: control works for me. Not sure it helps breakouts for me,
Speaker 1: but no, baby's well on the pill. Yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: trying to decide which method is best for me. Talk
Speaker 1: about the mini pill? What is the mini pill? I
Speaker 1: have no idea what the mini pills? Let's see. I
Speaker 1: love this topic. Have you ever looked into the Craton method.
Speaker 1: I've tried the pill and went crazy. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what the Craton methods c R E, I, G H,
Speaker 1: T O N is or the mini pill. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: look those up, but that sounds interesting for sure. Um So, really,

Speaker 1: about dealing with navigating through as a new mom, as
Speaker 1: a woman, and I'm sharing that with you, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it is real and raw and not really politically correct,
Speaker 1: like this is probably not the most like I don't know,

Speaker 1: actually been so supportive. I have to say, I have
Speaker 1: a really supportive husband who is all about me being
Speaker 1: real and honest because he agrees that if you're not
Speaker 1: real and honest, then what good is it? Like, really like,
