First time I've had a real period in years, hate cramping and bleeding, it makes me feel gross you know... I've been on birth control since about 2 months after I gave birth to her. Well December 5th my SO was in an accident, and between that and the holidays, all the appointments and figuring everything out for financials and our housing situation (have to move out in March) and everything else.. I forgot to refill my birth control. So since my boyfriend and I can't have sex or anything anyways because his injuries, I would just start my birth control back up after this period..
