My partner and I see each other probably three times a fortnight. Once mid week and every other weekend. I can't take combined pill because of migraines and because it made me put on loads of weight (and turned me into a psycho potential serial killer) and so we used condoms for ages. He hates them, I hate them. So I offered to try the progesterone only pill which I've now been using for around 3 months.
Well I'm rapidly putting on weight and although the sex is better (not that I have much of an appetite for it anyway) I'm really struggling with this pill.
The worst bit about it is that DP and I are both on diets and both trying to lose weight. Every few days he texts me all excited saying he's lost another lb. I'm furious because despite me being a bloody angel with my food, I'm at best staying the same weight, at worst actually putting weight ON. It's making me really resentful.
The thing is he REALLY struggles with condoms, the faffing etc makes him lose his erection sometimes, he can't climax very well with them either and the ONLY issue I have with this pill is the weight gain. No other negatives but the weight gain is a massive issue to me.
He'll be gutted if I stop taking it but is it really selfish of me to want to just so I can lose weight?
