Warning: This is Slightly TMI, but it's my blog, so get over it.

So we had our first pregnancy scare.

You think a girl who's been on birth control for well over ten years wouldn't have much of a problem with it. But I just switched from the ring. My period wouldn't come until the day before I was supposed to put the new one in, obviously not normal. So I switched back to the pill.

Well, in the midst of trying to pack everything for the honeymoon, I left my pack of pills at home. Yeah, I know, "ahh!". But, we had plenty of condoms and used one everytime. And really, I only missed two days of the pill, so it wasn't a big deal.

We were well aware that most women tend to get a UTI from the honeymoon, especially girls who have never had sex before and then go hog wild, so we got cranberry pills and I took at least two a day. UTI never happened. But I developed a nice yeast infection. So I took some Monistat and all was well.

Just a word of warning, Monistat weakens a condom and compromises the medicine in spermicide (which is on most condoms). So we had to take some emergency contraceptive to make sure everything was okay.

Well, I had been off the pill for seven days, time to start my new pack. No period. So, of course we freak out. Sean calls a pharmacist to see if this is normal. They said to wait a couple days.

Since it hadn't come yet, and the mood struck, we decided to have some fun. Except, that's when my period decided to show up. Yeah, but, answered prayers.

So we got a bunch of firsts. And hopefully the lasts for a while. Well, except my period. I'll be okay if I have those once a month....
