Med change for birth control

I was torn if I should post this under lounge or medication so if I’m wrong please feel free to change it.

I know sever of y’all (can’t think of usernames ATM) have been against me having a child and I didn’t want to bring this up because I don’t want to be told “I told you so” but my pdoc agreed with you guys and is taking me off lamotrigine so I can go on the birth control implant or any kind of non dangerous birth control (depo shot pulls calcium from the bones and I have thyroid issues which pulls calcium from bones not good) I’ll be off lamotrigine by not this Wednesday but next Wednesday

In the meantime my husband and I have been having intercourse sparingly and with condoms that have spermicide in them to keep from getting pregnant.

Wish me luck guys and I’m sorry

Why are you sorry? You’re just a person doing the best they can in life. I’m sorry you feel you have to let go of such a big dream. I can only imagine how hard this is on you.

@LilyoftheValley because wanting a child is selfish of me and I didn’t want to listen to anyone but for what I wanted… It’s what I’ve wanted since I was 5 and I’ll never get it but that doesn’t give me the right to get mad at you guys for that

Well, it does give you the right to be upset actually. Maybe not directly at specific people who are just trying to help, but yes, you do have every right to mourn your loss of hopes and dreams and be thoroughly upset.

I’m mentally ill and I’m a mom. I don’t think I’m a bad mom. Are you positive you need to give up this dream? What are your symptoms? Are you violent?

@LilyoftheValley I’m not violent but I’ve been unstable for a long time and go unstable easily and for no reason I’ve never had year after year of being stable
