Why can't you have it just in case anyway?

I sympathize, I've got the same condition but I don't have the cash for the pills. Besides, you could've been preparing to have sex with him eventually. You have to be on the pill a month ahead of time before you can safely have baby-free sex.

What an insecure moron. Lots of women are of birth control and don't have sex. It makes periods manageable, helps with health problems like yours, and is even required for some common medications like accutain. Also, I'm sure he's seen those four period a year commercials so he should know that birth control has other uses.

FML for having to read this. How is this an FML? CMON!

I have the same or close condition. I got my period twice a year before starting the pill, and once I started taking it, I stopped feeling like crap all the time, and it helped my hormones balance out. It didn't mean I was ready for sex, just ready for my body to stop screwing me over. You should let him read the instructions that come with the pills. Maybe then he'll understand why you're taking them.

OP here (Wrote this anonymously this morning). I think there are a few things to clear up due to the comments I've read. I would like to thank you all that support me for the condition I have and agreeing my now EX-boyfriend is a jerk. 1: For all the people who say the condition is fake or that they wish they had it, it's called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. It's real, and some of the symptoms are a non-existant period, fluctuating weight, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. If you people who want what I have, I would gladly trade you for a regular period. 2: I was not living with my boyfriend, but he did have the key to my apartment so he could come in when he wanted or needed. I don't know his reason for coming this morning but he isn't welcome anymore. 3: While I did not tell him about the birth control, I have told him I refuse to have sex until I'm married. It's not a religious thing, it's a personal decision that I thought he respected. I want my virginity to be taken by someone I know loves me, obviously it was not him. I think that's it for now. Thank you those who commented positively and for those who didn't, I hope you have a better understanding now.

you should've told him "Google it bitch..."

Sounds like he was unaware there are a lot of other reasons to take birth control than just birth control and freaked out a bit. Glad your rid of him though if he's a jerk

Quite honestly, I think the people here who are making comments like "You should have told him first" or "Why aren't you having sex with him" are being ridiculous. Why should she be obligated to tell him about her personal medical history or the medications she's taking if it doesn't directly affect him? I don't tell my boyfriend about every Tylenol I take for my headaches or Aleve for menstrual cramps. It's a personal thing. She should tell him because... if he sees the birth control box he's going to jump to conclusions and become an insulting, immature ass? I'm pretty sure that's his own fault then. I can understand his INITIAL thought was that she was having sex, but the fact that she tried to explain it to her and he wouldn't have any of it is horrible. It's called trust and understanding. He seems to have exemplified neither of those in this case. People who condone his throwing a box at her and yelling a derogatory word at her make me sick. And she could not be having sex with him yet because... oh, I don't know... they're not ready? You don't know how long they've been together or if they're mentally or emotionally ready. For those who assume they're living together already, they could be college where people sleep over in each other's room often but aren't necessarily living together. Pretty much, anyone who clicked YDI on this, in my opinion, was a little too YDI-trigger-happy.

I believe you. PCOS, right? I have it too.
