okay i’m only posting this because no one knows me, and it is kind of embarrassing but whatever. i need help, and hopefully one/some of you lovelies can help a poor girl out.
i’ve been on birth control for four and a half years now - the same one from the start, Nortrel. it’s a low dose pill. and everything was okay in the beginning, NO weight gain, no mood swings, and my periods have pretty much disappeared.
except for this one little problem.
i can’t get wet.
like, if i do, even just a little bit, it’s a miracle. and i used to not care, but i’m sort of with someone now, and i WANT everything to be perfect, and there are nights where he just sort of has to flop down on top of me and take it like a champ [awww] because it is literally impossible. i’ve talked to my gynecologist and she was like blahblah LUBE blahblah LOWER DOSE? blahblah IUD and i got overwhelmed and left. i’m 22, i shouldn’t have to, mid-foreplay, say “hold on, honey, let me whip out my astroglide ;),” because that’s so not cute. i’ve been actually overdosing on vitamin E and folic acid, and that’s sort of helped from how bad it used to be (i can actually have sex now sometimes), but that just is not good enough. and i can’t take it any more.
my real question, i guess, is this - does anyone have Paragard? it’s like Mirena, but hormone free.
please help me, darlings.
