HellFrost666 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Well, I personally don't use any protection. But my girlfriend and I have been together for a long time and she is on the pill. Link to comment
Meow18 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm on the pill, but my boyfriend and I also use condoms because it's too risky in our opinion. Link to comment
monkey1 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm on the pill, but my boyfriend and I also use condoms because it's too risky in our opinion. my bf would prefer just for me to be on the pill, but i'm more comfortable using both methods. Link to comment
EvaGina Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm on the pill, but my boyfriend and I also use condoms because it's too risky in our opinion. lol im on the pill because we kept gettin drunk and not using condoms Link to comment
Newo Ikkin Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The Pill. Not entirely fool-proof, I'm aware. Link to comment
doyathink Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 lol, tube tying I would have....but it cost less for him to have the 'v' done...so he did. Link to comment
Aleadragonhawk Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The ring. Most effective method of hormonal birth control (taking into account the high user-error rate with the pill) that doesn't have negative side affects on bone density (depro-provera.) Link to comment
Day_Walker Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 single - condoms relationship - condoms and/or contraception for her Link to comment
Cutey Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Coitus Interruptus (withdrawal) as I can't be on the pill due to my high blood pressure. Link to comment
CharLit Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 copper coil only: boyfriend & i both got tested for everything and stopped using condoms when the tests came back negative. Link to comment
paw_x Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 what type of protection do you use for sex? At the moment, I got the Depo shot a month ago. After the 3 months is up I'll be getting Implanon, which lasts 3 years. I've never been great with remembering to take the pill so I've gone for something easier and more long term. Link to comment
applepie Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 When I was with my ex it was just the pill, but with casual partners I always use condoms aswell. I wish I could just get an IUD, but I get acne and an incredibly high sex drive when I'm not on the pill, which tends to lead to more casual partners. My doctor said "no way". Link to comment
sophie274 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The pill and condoms. Would love to switch to a non-hormonal method of BC, but there isn't much out there that's appropriate right now. Waiting for the man-pill so I can make my boyfriend take it ! lol Link to comment
EvaGina Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I find I have to wear a watch with an alarm to remember to take my pill... its digital-nerd-tastic... but it does the job. before that I set na alarm on my cellphone... but I dontknow HOW anyone manages to take it without a reminder!!! Link to comment
sophie274 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 but I dontknow HOW anyone manages to take it without a reminder!!! I used to set an alarm too (7:30 AM !!!), now I just take it in the morning when I wake up, since I wake up at around the same time every day. I think +/- an hour is not so bad ... fingers crossed Link to comment
RayKay Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Monogamous long term relationship - the copper IUD. Love it..no hormones...no thinking about it...and have had no bad side effects from it at all. After 10 years on the pill, I think it is the best damn birth control option ever (for me personally!). Of course not for everyone! Link to comment
EvaGina Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I used to set an alarm too (7:30 AM !!!), now I just take it in the morning when I wake up, since I wake up at around the same time every day. I think +/- an hour is not so bad ... fingers crossed its ok if you are on the combined pill, but if your on the progesterone only, it cant be outide of 3 hours of your normal time. I almost forgot mine today, even with the alarm... good thing I looked at this thread! Link to comment
Aurian Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Currently on Depo-Provera, but after being off it for awhile (out of relationship), I am noticing some side effects now that I've taken it again. My sex drive nosedived and I can't get wet anymore. When it wears off, I will be switching to a non-hormonal IUD. I've reacted REALLY badly to pills in the past (nasty mood swings, perma-bleeding, etc), and with the Depo also showing side effects, I've had enough of hormones! I also don't trust the effectiveness rates of condoms (86%), and spermicide just seems like a messy mood-killer... Link to comment

Just got my five-year replacement which wasn't much fun, but now it's clear sailing for another 5 years... well, unless we decide we'd like to expand the family before then of course Link to comment
Cardinal Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 G/F is on the pill. I use condoms. Condoms alone wouldn't work for me at all. Too much risk. Link to comment
