hey mamas. Is there such a thing? I went to get more spermicide (we've been using condoms but were feeling like we'd rather use my diaphragm with spermicide), and discovered it contained both parabens and propalyn glycol!!! clearly, NOT an option. I don't use face products with that stuff, much less large quantities IN me, in contact with a mucus membrane, for a prolonged period of time!!!
Is there a paraben and propalyn glycol and other bad for you stuff free version?
If not, I'm going to have to figure out how to make charting work for me. (ahhh the sleep loss
. I'm already sleep deprived. If DP would get up with me when I have to temp, then we could both go back to sleep, I don't think I'd mind so much. but getting up myself in the morning, staying awake for long enough to take my temp with my glass thermometer, writing it down, then trying to go back to sleep unsucessfully, while he sleeps away, really pisses me off. I've hinted to him that I wish charting wasn't something I had to do alone, and mentioned that other people's partners participate in it, but nothing!!)
Why is it that it seems like most of the contraceptive options out there fuck with the woman? We're the one who get's uti's and poisoning from diaphragms and spermicides, we're the one who has to keep track of everything with charting, we're the one who's body get's screwed up with hormonal bc, condoms are no fun for anyone, and he's the one who wants to wait more than me.
umm sorry about the vent posed as a question. the question is still here. thanks.
