I think We're doing something wrong.

Okay So I started off today wanting to do a post about our move and show off the house a little. But my phone decided it wasn't going to send pictures today I guess.
So I'm starting a new post now.
It's about condoms. Yep those things men hate to use and woman hate to hear about. It Casa B. we have stop using the birth control pill because of the side effects I was getting from them. My sex drive was gone. Like it flew out the window and never looked back. That put a big problem in our marriage. We went through some really hard times. some really bad fights, and thought of divorce.
We wanted to try everything we could before making a huge choice to end it. So I went off the pill and we started using condoms.
We do NOT wanna get pregnant again. One is enough for us. Right now we just don't have the money for another baby. And MTV is hiring 20 something married couples for a show. If they are and you know something sign me up! LOL.
The thing with condoms is the hubs hates buying them. He sends me to the condom section of Wal-mart. So I get to hang with the scared teenage boys. Sometimes I talk really loud about condoms to make the hubs turn red.
Now I'm to the best when it come to condom use.   Me and the hubs never used them because from the beginning we wanted a baby. So using them now is kinda weird for us. And it seems that just about everyone we use breaks. It's the scariest thing. We for the pass couple weeks we have been having some issues in the bedroom. We did find that the normal condoms, i.e. not the Trojan Ecstacy, don't break.
We are still looking for "our" condom, I guess you can say. I just would hate to have to go back on the pill. I was thinking of many trying to non hormonal IUD, but my insurance doesn't cover it.
I want the hubs to get a vasectomy. His not so sure about the idea. But I think I can talk him into it.

Why are We Paying You if I Can't Even get What I Need.

Nuvaring Update.

Well Sunday I went to get a new nuvaring while we were out doing our grocery shopping. My name was called over the loud speaker to come back to the pharmacy. There I was told that my insurance wouldn't cover the cost of my nuvaring.
From there I call my insurance were they tell me some bull crap about paying it out of pocket and then "maybe" getting reimbursed.
We pay just about $100 a month for BlueCrossBlueShield. But it seems they won't pay for something I need. Yes they pay for the pill, but when I was on the pill my moods were so messed up. My sex drive was gone. When I started nuvaring I felt so much better. I felt like myself again. But it seems that's all down the f-ing drain. Being Sunday and the day I needed to start taking my birth control again ( I'm super freaked about getting pregnant again.). I just so happened to still have one refill on the pill left, something told me not to throw the pill packet away. So thats what I'm on again now.
Really I don't get how we can pay for something and not be able to get what I need. And paying out of pocket is not a option. We barely make it as it is. We don't get any help from the government or anyone. My poor husband goes to work at 4:30 in the morning and works until 5pm. I'm lucky to have him and that he gives the the chance to be a stay at home mom. I try to do my part. I clip coupons and shop sales and make a lot of things myself.
But I just don't understand how we can pay out $100 a month to these people and then they won't cover anything I need.
So now I'm back to fighting to feel normal.

From The Pill to The Ring

From the time I was 18 I have been on and off The Pill. At 18 it was okay. I didn't seem to have any problem with it. I went off The Pill when I met me now husband. I had our daughter and 6 months after she was born I went back on The Pill. I started off trying Seasonique. You know the pill that only gives you four periods a year. Haha my ass! I bleed the just about whole three months I was taking it, not cool at all! So I went back on the regular ol' pill.
I was doing okay until the side affects kicked in. I for mood swings from hell. I was have been like the crazy mood swing lady. It was getting so bad that I was snapping at everyone and I couldn't control it. I would feel so bad after I would just set and cry. Then I lost all of my sex drive. I mean all of it. It was to the point where it was affecting my marriage. My poor hubby has been through a lot with me and this was coming to the breaking point for him.
So yesterday I went to the doctor and told her something had to change. I have been doing my research and I found that NuvaRing was low hormone and lower side affects.




I haven't tried it yet. I have a week of The Pill to finish. Then I'm diving head first into the NuvaRing. I have heard good and bad about it, so I'm trying it for myself.
Has anyone used it or know anyone who has used it? Comments are definitely welcome!
