Birthcontrol

[sirensiren]

OK, I'm feeling very neurotic lately, because I have always refused to take the pill and will continue doing so. Also the IUV (I think that's what it's called in english) or the patch. So that leaves me condoms, and natural birthcontrol.

I would be grateful for anyone who has ideas on how to avoid getting pregnant if they're in my situation.
I've been thinking about using condoms whilst being in my ovulation period.
But not sure how safe it is..

so many choices....

Here is a link to a PDF that lays out many of your choices, how efficient they are and the pros and cons of each choice.

No method is 100%. Condoms are usually rated at a failure of 1 in a 100 or 2 in a 100. My own experience is 100% effective

Good luck in choosing. Stay safe.

The safest birth control is no sex. I conceived child number one while on the pill....if you are on it for more than 3 years..it weakens and u have to get a stronger dose...I didn't know that..thus..she came...The last child was a condom mishap.....the father (my husband) never told me it broke.
The patch can cause skin irritation..IUD can cause severe cramps....norplant breaks in the arm and can cause tingling and numbness....DepoProvera shot can cause serious weight gain but is quite efficient in preventing pregnancy and then there is that morning after pill....Cervical cap is good but you have to be fitted for it....

Can't the man feel the cervical cap?

I've had an IUD for around 14 years, since six weeks after the birth of my last child. Money wise it has been a winner. I haven't gotten pregnant. I haven't had severe cramps.

However it doesn't help prevent STD's. Fortunately that hasn't been a problem with my husband and me.

There is something new out in the US called the NuvaRing, which goes in your vagina, around your cervix, and stays there for three weeks. You take it out for a week, then pop in a new one. Would this be something you would consider? From what I have heard, the man can't feel it.

If you want to just stick with condoms, make sure you use a spermicide too so you have double protection, so to speak.

 

[PertPerth]

Yes, the new NuvaRing (or equivalent) is also available in Australia now too. It contains hormones also, so I don't think that it is a possible choice for sirensiren.

So, that leaves condoms or diaphragm/cervical cap (or natural/rhythm method which is the least reliable). Your GP/General Doctor should be able to answer questions for you further.

I've considered cervical cap...but you need those sperm "killers" too along with that right? so it's a bit messy I suppose.

I've heard natural birthcontrol is not so reliable, but I'm very regular in my period, and very disciplined...It's the one I'm most interested in.

Sirensiren - my sister did not believe in birthcontrol other than natural. She has nine children. After her 9th, due to age and other factors/complications, her Dr. recommended a hysterectomy. Without that, I am sure she would have had more. I can't honestly say how well they did at timing things just right, but it isn't a very reliable source even if you are regular and disciplined.

Not knowing whether you are married and wanting a planned pregnancy or whether you are talking about birthcontrol prior to marriage, makes it a little difficult to comment.

I wasn't sure about taking the pill when we first got married. I had some history of family members who had complications after taking the pill, so we decided to start out with condoms. Back then there wasn't the variety of birth control and as many types of the pill as there are now.

I had a precancerous pap smear which required a biopsy and scraping of the cervix after our first year of marriage. After that, my Dr. never felt like the pill was a good option for me and with the reservations I already had, we decided to continue with condoms. We never used anything but condoms.

After the precancerous scare, our opinion was that if we used condoms and used them right, if I still got pregnant, that was OK. I was married and we knew we wanted children. A pregnancy, even if not planned at that moment, was OK with us.

We had success with condoms and I never got pregnant while using them. I had a miscarriage during the first trimester of my first pregnancy, had our first son a year later. I miscarried again with the 3rd pregnancy which was shortly after our 1st was born. My Dr. told me to wait at least six months before getting pregnant again to give my body time to heal. We didn't use condoms during that time and tried the natural process. I was also very regular and thought disciplined. I got pregnant two months later. I/We were not as disciplined as we originally thought. We were definitely OK with the pregnancy, but I worried for 9 months that something would be wrong with the baby because I didn't give myself the time I needed to heal. He was born a healthy 10lbs 3 oz.

I think depending on your circumstances and how you feel about a pregnancy if it does happen, your idea of trying natural is honorable. But if a pregnancy would devastate you or you are not married, I would suggest a more reliable method of birth control. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

The pill worked flawlessly for me prior to trying to have babies. I didn't take it flawlessly though. I'd forget sometimes. I think I've been very lucky with all of my birth control and fertility issues thus far.

Thanks for all your replies I really appreciate it.
When those of you who have tried the natural way, did you do it complete with taking the temerature everyday the whole month?

Natural is effective if you do it right. That's the key. Once you get to know your body, it's pretty easy. I've been doing it for 10 months and, yes, I take my temperature every day except during my period. We use condoms during my fertile time.


This is a very helpful thread:

No and yes

Can't the man feel the cervical cap?

My experience of the cap is that I couldn't feel it when in place. That was a great improvement on the IUD. The IUD my ex used had two thin "tails" (similar to but nowhere near as big as a tampon) which remained outside the cervix to enable removal when the time came. That was the problem. During intercourse, with every thrust these "tails" came into sharp contact with the head of my penis - and sometimes entered the urerthra - with painful results. I don't know if other men have the experience or in this case it was badly fitted. Eventually, I found that the sound of our two children at the bedroom door rattling the handle was the best contraceptive!

Birth controlling is really annoying, I hope sooner or later people will find a perfect way for it.

We failed three times, so we have our beloved son and my wife had abortion twice.
I'm very sorry that my wife suffered all the consequence.

My GF uses the Nuvaring. She shares with everyone that she finds it as the perfect form of birthcontrol cause she doesn't need to remember daily to take a pill or anything.

I can feel it sometimes, but usually not. There have been a few times where it will come out with me or while she is cleaning up afterwards. Even with this short time out, we have not had any pregnancies from it.

She says the main reason she likes this over other methods she has tried is it doesn't give her bad headaches associated with some of the other methods.

Planned Parenthood covers the cost of it here, so that is also something to look at.
