Yes the other method I mentioned it natural family planning, and its not for everyone. I use it, and the temp taking isn't as bad as it sounds...I just have a therm on my night stand and every morning when my husbands alarm goes off, I reach over and take my temp and go back to bed. It a natural way birth control method with absolutley no side effects :) But again, its not for everyone....but is a lot more percise than the "pull out" method.
While typing this I did remember one time I did try to pill again, I told my OB about the problems I had with my periods, and the heavy bleeding the pill caused...she put me on the 3 month birth control pill....you take it just like a normal birth control pill but you don't take the "reminder week" you take birth control pills continously for 3 months, then a week without for your period. You only will have 4 periods a month. That did work well for me :)
