M. took her birth control every day this month. She also almost always took it at around the same time of day each day. She never went an entire day without taking her pill. Also, she takes the dual pills with progesterin and estrogen, which are harder to become pregnant on, even if you miss a day or two and have to take more than one in a day to “catch up”. And, like I said, she never missed a day. Plus, the only time we were intimate this month was yesterday, which was on day 23 of her pack (she is on Loestrin 24, so she starts on her brown pills tomorrow), which means that even without the pills, she would likely be too far into her cycle to get pregnant even if we weren’t on the pills, let alone the facts that we are, and she took them every day. It’s only my OCD about them not being taken at exactly the same time each day that has led me to worry, without any evidence to declare it a possibility, that she could end up pregnant.
I am glad we are going back to the marriage/fertility counselor this week (after we had to break for a few weeks after Mary took on a substitute teaching assignment), because I’m really still in the frame of mind where I am paranoid about having sex with my wife, because of even the smallest possibility that she could get pregnant again and something bad (miscarriage, ectopic, emergency room, surgery, etc.) will occur.
