I use this thing called being a lesbian. Perfect birth control, 10/10

I have chosen to use the counting calendar or FAM method. I have very predictable and regular periods every month, the 10 days after my period is no sex or sex with condoms and then the next 20 days or so until my period is just sex is ok with pull out or not. Then back to my period... for 5 days or so. We have been doing this for a little while now... and my daughter is almost 3 so we must be doing some thing right. I really dislike anything inside my body and hormones. I tried the copper IUD but I had a fever and terrible back pain about a month later and I had to get rid of it. Plus I had spotting...

I said other. I have my third Nexplanon implant in my non-dominant arm. They are put in, and after 3 years changed, under local anaesthetic. The next one in two years time, I think, will be in the other arm.
One rare effect has been to stop me having periods altogether. I do not know what percentage of women have this side effect.
It does mean I can fit and forget. Nopills, no jabs, no pulling out and risking being too late. No morning after pill and, thankfully, NO CONDOMS. We ARE both clean!
