I mean, if you're just going to go through the trouble of condoms, or spermicide, etc, just use those methods and save the $ and annoyance of a daily pill. Not judging, just curious.

I'm on it to relieve the hellacious cramps I used to get every month. But I've always felt safer with some sort of backup. Apparently now that's just going to be spermicide because I found out I'm allergic to latex.

My endocrinologist encourages that use of another brith control method because I am a diabetic and I really cannot afford (healthwise) to have an unplanned pregnancy. This is my situation. I would rather have all the protection I can use than have an unplanned pregnancy and suffer those health risks.

Yes... this too. My endo told me that I need to be watched and regulated A YEAR before I wanted to conceive. Your blood sugars have to be IMMACULATE before you try.
