Hey!
I'm 24 and soon to be 25 and NOT READY TO HAVE CHILDREN! But I was told the same thing. No point in even taking birth control unless I'm sexually active.
How am I suppose to get active if I can't get a date with a werewolf face and more than enough booty to spare!??? (And this was the best Dr. I've seen yet)
I wish you all the luck finding someone terrific. We all deserve that in a Dr.
sincerely, maggie.
