Will I have a hard time convincing due to how irregular my periods are?

The last day of my period was March 7th and I spotted until March 10th then I had my period for 6 days until March 16th. I looked up online why my period is like this and it said I had low progesterone which caused my period to be like this with a luteal phase defect which can make it hard to get pregnant. Is this true or my period pattern is normal or caused by something else and I should have no issue getting pregnant? I am 30. My periods have never been like this before where I spotted 4 days before my period.

That’s awesome! So with me I should have no issue getting pregnant?

I’m catching you here as your other thread is full. On that you admitted it wasn’t the right time for you think about having a baby but you are here asking for advise on just that.

Please. Stop having casual sex, find someone who can accept you for you. Work with your mom to build up your independence.

You got a lot of good advice on that chat. You can live a happy fulfilled life but at the moment a baby can’t happen. Your mom has applied for medical guardianship for a reason and she wants your IUD to stay in place.

Ok I think you are right but I could have casual sex if I am typical right? And someone else said if they just want sex they are taking advantage of you. Is this because of my disability? If I didn’t have a disability and if they just wanted sex without a relationship they wouldn’t be taking advantage of me right?

If someone fully understands the implications of casual sex then that is their right. I don’t agree it is sensible as it leads them open to dangerous situations and STDs but their choice to make.

What is making others concerned is you don’t seem to be aware of all of those implications. You have approached lots of people in your workplace for hooks-up, you contact strangers online to meet for sex, you misinterpret being a friend with benefits for being in a relationship, you don’t always insist on condoms etc….

You mum was so concerned you had to do a test to see if you could consent to sex (most people don’t need to do this test) and got you and IUD to prevent pregnancy. She is now seeking a medical guardianship to ensure you keep that in place.

You are fixated on the idea of ‘normal’ or ‘typical’ but you don’t act either and need to accept your limitations.

You clearly enjoy sex, have you found any good sex toys that might satisfy you as an alternative?

I definitely do understand the implications of casual sex. Don’t make up this lie that I don’t understand because I do! Even my therapist told me I understood the implications of casual sex and I passed the sexual
consent test. The implications of casual sex is that unprotected sex could lead to pregnancy and STD’s and someone can’t pressure you into having sex and can’t manipulate you into sex. I understand if I am being manipulated into sex. I have every right to have casual sex! And I also don’t misinterpret a friends with benefits for being a relationship. I know the difference because if a guy just wants a relationship he would be open to meeting my parents and going on dates and with a friends with benefits they just want to have sex without being in a relationship so I am not that mentally challenged and understand all of this! Even my therapist who has a PHD did these type of tests to see if I understood the implications and I do!! Even typical people contact strangers online for sex and that doesn’t make me any different!

@Gymnastxo96 You've missed out a vital piece of information in your OP, which is that you have an IUD in situ, so pregnancy is impossible.

You also know that your mom has guardianship over your medical decisions and she has blocked you from having the IUD removed, as you shouldn't become pregnant.

True, but you're looking for a stable relationship, I think?

Yeah she has the guardianship over me temporarily. She even said it’s not forever. Me and my mom had a talk and she said she will let me live on my own very soon and she thinks I will be independent. Even my therapist agrees.

But you just said you wanted casual sex!

We're just going round in circles again, aren't we?

I did want casual sex in the past. But what ever happens, happens. I won’t be opposed to casual sex but I am mostly looking for a relationship.
