#medroxyprogesterone

I can't believe that in 11 days, we will have officially hit our 1 year mark ttc. I can't explain how many tears I have shed, doctor's visits I have gone to, or things I have searched up. Trying to have a baby is defintely not an easy process, I will say. For those people and couples that didn't have to go on drugs to get them to ovulate or jump start their period, I am happy for you. I wouldn't want to wish any of this on anyone. It's been hard to scroll down on my Facebook feed and see another friend announce their pregnancy; don't get me wrong, I am so happy for you, but I am hurt for me yet again because I only wish I was in your shoes. It's hard attending babyshowers because I wish it was me with that baby bump, smiling and celebrating an expected life. 1 year has been so tough. This trial that I have been put on, has definitely been tough, I have broken down and thought the worst things about myself, but never have I given up. I know that God has given me this test because he knows I can fight through it. Every day is a reminder to never give up and keep striving for what I want.

Now that I finished my first 10 days of the pill on Wednesday, I’m slowly approaching full-blown emotional meltdown mode. And in my sad, angry, ragey descent I just keep hearing my mom repeating that in the back of my mind. Of all the super insensitive things she’s said since I’ve been dealing with this, it’s funny that something from years ago is what hurts the most. 

Experienced obstetric and gynecologic medicine practitioner Luu D. Ireland, MD, serves as assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Luu D. Ireland belongs to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). In order to expand women’s choices for over-the-counter contraceptives, ACOG has recommended the approval of hormonal contraception to over-the-counter status . ACOG issued a new update to supersede its previous recommendation. ACOG maintains that hormonal birth control such as contraceptive pills, patches, vaginal rings, and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) should be made available over the counter for women of all ages, since they have been proven to be safe and effective. In the guidance it issued, ACOG acknowledges that regulatory action is required to achieve this expanded access recommendation. Also, ACOG is aware that some states have allowed access to hormonal contraception in pharmacies and through online shopping sites. But the ultimate goal of the recommendation is to make hormonal contraception accessible over the counter everywhere. In its guidance, ACOG says prescription poses an unnecessary obstacle to a woman’s access to her preferred method of birth control. While ACOG maintains that a woman has to see her gynecologist at least once a year for a health assessment, access to contraception should not require prior visit to a physician. A woman has the right to choose the method of contraception that she believes works best for her, ACOG’s guidance states.

I can’t wait to see where this journey leads.
