In the last year, I've helped friends get their hands on Plan B four times because they're fertile enough that forgetting to take the pill once means the risk of pregnancy. We've been TTC since a few months after our relationship officially started (friends for a couple years before, realized we'd been in love and were pretty much in a relationship). It's just ironic, I think, that the my friends run to to make sure they don't have babies is...me. The one infertile one. See, starting as a teen I EDUCATED myself on EVERYTHING, even things I don't agree with (abortion), so that I would know what's what. I'm the one among my friends who can tell you the difference between different IUDs and how Yasmine is different than Ortho Tri-Cyclen.
So I'm the go-to person to prevent unplanned pregnancies and expected to sympathize when someone forgets a pill or three and fears what to do since she and boyfriend just had condomless sex, where can she get Plan B at 2am. I make the calls to find a pharmacy open that has it.
Me. The one who would cry if I got a pregnancy to term, who hopes with al my heart that the next HPT will be positive. I love my friends, so I do it and don't say anything about how sad it makes me feel when I'd give almost anything to be in the position of fertile.
Know what? I now keep two packs of Plan B on hand in case no pharmacy has it and one of my friends needs it. The irony, eh?
