TTC to-do: Kick the birth control

So I almost did this the other day!

Yeah, almost. Just let me finish, OK?

I had finished my last pack, and placed my re-fill order at the drugstore. But then we had a snowstorm, I couldn’t pick it up, yada yada yada, and suddenly I hadn’t had a pill in two days.

So technically … I was off it … for two days.

I mentioned it casually to Darling Husband, and suggested that maybe I would just stay off the pill. The idea seemed refreshing. No more icky chemicals and screwing with natural, etc. Maybe I would even drop the 10 lbs that everyone packs on when they start taking the pill.

Let’s just say, DH did not agree. Before I knew it, we were parked out front of the the drugstore, and I was marched inside.

So for now, I’m pill-in’ it up. But when I run out and go back for the annual gyno-fun in the fall, I will not be getting a little yellow prescription!

Eeeeeeeeek!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
