Actually I am slowly on my way to doing just that. Breaking down my social comforts to get to where I really want to be. It's taking some time, but it's happening.
but it's not done internally, chemically. That's where I see the problem with the morning after pill. I don't want to take the pill because I am uncomfortable with the thought of something chemically altering the goings on of my insides just to disrupt something that doesn't need to be disrupted. the same way anyone else can. and i still won't be taking it.
a comment made 4 months 11 days ago by tamme: "I'm not really into guys coming on me anywhere. especially not in my crotch! that could make me pregnant!" oh the brutal twists of fate...alas you didnt knock on wood did you? hehe i sent you positive rep for that preminision of sorts though. well, good luck, and i still suggest you get an std test.
Cabbage has over three hundred chemical compounds, all of which effect you, somehow. Everything that exists is a chemical reaction. The terms natural and synthetic are really irrelevent. Its all chemical... Anyway, I wish you luck, and respect your choice. Chances are, you still are not pregnant. Either way, take care and good luck.
"natural" approaches can be just as scary, if not moreso, than chemicals. I mean, hell, women used to punch themselves in the stomach, use clothes hangers, and otherwise intentionally harm themselves to abort their children, back when it was illegal to go to a doc. If you do end up pregnant, you gotta decide if you wanna keep it. I mean, give it up for adoption or raise it yourself. If you do decide to keep it, make sure you love it and treat it very well. I was an accidental baby, and my mom did a great job of raising me, despite limited funds and a divorce from my dad when I was 4. That said, some of my friends were accidental kids too, and their parents treated them like shit because of it, because they "ruined their lives". Think about it carefully hon.
"Natural" approaches to abortion...Isn't that pretty contradictory? The natural way to deal with a pregnancy is to keep and raise the child. Yes, I know all of this. Thank you.
I didn't mean that how it sounded....It's just...You are going into this all happy-go-lucky. I was pregnant once, and it didn't sit nearly so well with me. I couldn't say "well, i'll keep it. Or I'll give it up for adoption." and I don't understand how you can be so cool with this....no stress whatsoever....how? Holly
I didn't say you were....But you are my age, and in almost the same situation that I was in....I just would like to know where you are coming from, as opposed to where I was coming from....Don't be defensive, just asking... Holly
Er, actually, the body quite often aborts children when it's having problems developing properly, and I would call that natural when the body itself decides. Sometimes genetic mistakes can survive in the womb (Down's Syndrome is an error in the genes, I believe). Sometimes it'll happen even at 7 or 8 months, due to illness in the child or the mother. Just because mr sperm hits ms egg, doesn't mean that the child will be carried to term or survive birthing. Considering all the possibilities for mistakes in the child or other outside forces (ie illness), it's amazing as many women give birth as they do. btw, if you "know all this already", why did you bother asking for anyone's opinion? Not to join the picking on you bandwagon, but you sure make it hard to sympathize with you when all you do is contradict what people say, or respond in a condescending manner.
*sigh*...is anyone else experiencing dejavoo, Tamee?? I believe a few months ago, maybe on the old forums, you had pretty much the exact same question. Am I pregnant? And you told everyone you would build your own house, make your own clothes, grow your own food, etc. Anway, I agree with dangermoose...see a doctor...get tested for stds. If his semen got on you, you could get infected if he has something. Girl, you should be more intuned with your ovulation. If you are going to be having sex, then you NEED to know when your periods are and when you ovulate. It called being responsible for your body. Take care of yourself.
Yes. like I've said before, all I wanted to know was what you guys thought my chances were. This is what I was referring to when I said "I know all of this."
