Stopping pregnancy prevention
Posting as anon because I don't know if I know people in here... lol also unsure if this is toooooo detailed lol
My husband and I have been married just about 6 years, and he has never... done the deed in me. Lol withdrawal method. We are almost 25 years old, and the topic of starting a family has been coming up more. I am very anxious about letting him stay in, but I am wanting to be more connected and more letting God have more of a hand in when we have kids. Obviously if God wanted us to have kids earlier, something likely would have happened. We want a family, and he would now if I wasn't hesitant, just out of my own personal fears.
This last year, all of 2025 was so awful for me anxiety wise as an aftermath of the stomach flu. I lost my appetite completely and ended up losing 60lbs since January 2025 due to it. I am finally getting better but also recovering after like 7 months of daily use of tylenol and advil and the withdrawals from it have been awful.
Since starting to feel a bit better, my sex drive has been returning, also doesnt help I am ovulating this week, so I think things are just heightened, but part of me is almost wanting to stop preventing and not doing withdrawal anymore as we are okay with a family starting.
I just feel conflicted because I have gone through so much and am still recovering, but the idea of a family has been so heavy on my heart the last few days.
What would you do?
