When I was on the pill, I kept them in my purse. I didn't feel like I was hiding them. I just didn't feel like they needed to be out in everyone's face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461231 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 23:13:03 +0000 googly-eyes 461231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't just leave it out but when I was on BC I'd keep it in my purse, condoms in a bedroom drawer, feminine products in a bathroom drawer or cupboard... Speaking of which I missed my last gyno appointment and need to reschedule and get a new BC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461214 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 22:50:21 +0000 junebugmama 461214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought about hiding anything. I'm an adult. I didn't think I had to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461209 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 22:48:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 461209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dapple Grey: When I eventually go back on the pill - I won't be telling my family either! My mom and sister are very against pills/hormones etc..</p> <p>We have them in a box on the nightstand... otherwise no, not hidden. We don't really have people over very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461203 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 22:40:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 461203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have anything to hide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461195 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 22:35:09 +0000 doodlepoodle 461195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't use condoms, but I'm not shy about being on the pill. I guess since my MIL is a nurse that helps...? She was in the delivery room watching the baby come out of my who-who-dilly so I'd say all modesty flew out of the window that day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461191 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 22:31:49 +0000 eeh 461191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave them on my nightstand so I remember to take them each night. When compay comes I usually put them in th drawer. Before having the baby I would definitely hide them and not want anyone to see. After the baby, I don't really care. We're married adults who are using birth control as a means for spacing our children. I would never leave condoms out though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461049 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:58:57 +0000 MaisyMay 461049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used NFP/FAM to avoid pregnancy for over a year and a half and then used it to get pregnant. If somebody would be in our bedroom, we'd tuck our chart in a drawer, usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461045 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:54:29 +0000 MsMini 461045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep my BC in our ensuite, and rarely if ever do any guests go in there, we have 2 other bathrooms they can use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461019 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:35:44 +0000 blackbird 461019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guests don't come into my bathroom so it's not an issue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461015 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:33:09 +0000 Dapple Grey 461015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's an ongoing somewhat covert operation. My mother in law lives with us ;) She like used mind control or something to prevent and also to get pregnant and she is for the most part very anti drugs. I told her i dont take pills and I do lol oh well !<br /> But in general even if i did live alone, i am always very discreet and private and would certainly be with guests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461014 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:31:49 +0000 sarac 461014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd never let a guest stay in my bedroom, first. If I had a pack of pills I might put it in a drawer instead of just on the counter in the bathroom. Maybe. I'm married. I'm spacing my children in a way that works. That is not something I keep secret. But I come from a pretty liberal family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-461004 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:26:33 +0000 luckypenny 461004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. MIL and i are very open with each other so she doesn't mind if I have my BC pills out call women in my family are on the pill so we don't hide it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-460998 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:24:57 +0000 prettylizy 460998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't leave them out or anything, they're in a drawer in our bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-460992 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:23:02 +0000 heffalump 460992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. It's on my night stand.

With condoms and when I took pills, I didn't really hide them but they were in my nightstand so they weren't just out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-460909 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:29:12 +0000 MrsCastro 460909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yes...i had some younger adult cousins over a few weekends ago...and we left them our room...i made sure to hide all the "procreation gear"...i was scared they would find something... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-family-or-inlaws-come-to-visit-do-you-hide-your-birth-control#post-460904 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:25:00 +0000 mrbee 460904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's only polite to be a bit discreet... you don't have to rent a safe deposit box though. Somewhere in between feels reasonable.</p> <p>When your family or inlaws come to visit, do you hide your birth control? </p>
