.c’mon honey.

I'm going to share this mostly because I'm so frustrated with my health care and New York doctors....

For a medication I'm about to go on, I have to sign a paper saying I will not get pregnant. It's a booklet larger than the Pennsylvania driving license manual. The iPledge: Committed to Pregnancy Prevention kit (doesn't it sound like something that comes with a chastity ring). Not only do you have to sign a form saying you won't get pregnant, but you have to go on two different forms of birth control. Not one, but two. Along with blood tests, this is all adding up to an extra $150 a month.

BUT

The doctor is explaining this to me and this is what she said:

"It can be any two methods of birth control, you know. Like, abstinence, of course or condoms and the pill, or vaginal condoms and a ring, or the pill and...oh, what do you call it...oh yeah, you can use the pill and spermicide, or you can use condoms and abstinence, or a condom and a diaphragm. Just make sure you're using two."

Good idea. Glad you spent all those years in school. Or, the idea presented by my mother, Plan B and abortion!
Sorry, shouldn't be joking. Wait, yes, yes I should. My blog, I can do whatever the hell I want.
