condoms... i kind of want the pill, and i could theorhetically take it now; i couldn't before because i was on another medication that would have interfered with it, but i'm not on that anymore.

i have also thought of getting an IUD.
but they seem really scary.
i mean, you've got this foreign object floating around in your uterus, but that's not the creepy part!
IUD's can get stuck in the uterine wall, and even puncture the uterus, which makes the whole idea seem more trouble than it's worth.
(tho it must be noted that everything i know about IUD's is from a book written in, like, the 70's... so they might have come a ways since then)

so... yeah

Doctors don't generally like to give IUDs to women who have not had children...
 
From what I understand it's not that bad, bj. They make a very small incision, use a knitting needle to pull the necessary tubes out, then cut em off. Supposedly a very quick and somewhat painless procedure.

Yes.. pre-ejaculatory fluid... you can be just as likely to get pregnant from that... as I know to my cost...

Its not a safe method... I don't dabble often in that... far too much of a worry... its a welly boot or nothing these days... after a minor scare!!!!!!!

Yeah, I'd never trust withdrawl as a method on its own...

well, 'not that bad' and 'knitting needles to private parts' don't quite go together :D

but i was more interested to know from anyone who's gone through it if the sexual experience is any different after the fact
 
Rubbers...I found some nice thin yet strong ones in LG. :D

Tried the bc pill, but it's not all it's cracked up to be. Both my wife and her brother are BC-babies. Stress causes innefectivness.

I am assuming your wife is atleast mid-twenties...there have been many advancements in the BC pill since then...ofcourse, it is still not 100% but doctors seem to have a lot of confidence in the current pills...websites say a lot of shit but any doc I've ever talked to has said that if you're not on other meds that may interfer it is reasonable to use solo as a form of birthcontrol
 
the scary thing about the pill for me was that sometimes i would forget to take it ... which brought on panic, making sex not fun.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

I am pretty good usually though, I keep em right by the computer at school and I get into it like clockwork

Yeah, how did you *NOT* get an STD? :alienhuh:

Guys - you *do* know that getting off at redfern is real dangerous.... right? There's lil' swimmers in the pre-cum that can get yer preggers faster than speedy gonzalez. :eek13:
 
Hopefully a mouse wouldn't be able to get a human female pregnant at all, let alone do it quickly.

no kidding... someone must be looking out for me... either that or they're setting me up for something really good :grim:

i wasn't very responsible in my younger days *read pre-29*... but i'm much better now *relatively*

She's a bit older than that :) We know about the BC pill change and we've used the new stuff, but not in the past 3 years. First, there was the pregnancy and now...it's breastfeeding. Neither accomodated the BC pill very well :)

Soon...my son'll be cut off. Soon thereafter, we're trying for another kid...so that's at least another 3 years right there. After that...the scariest 4-sylable word for men. Vi-sect-o-my :p Or....we talk about a third kid.

My man has already made it VERY clear he will not ever get cut. I don't really care, it's almost as easy for women to get fixed these days...in through the belly button I hear...so after we are finished having children (which we have not even started to try for yet nor will we anyday soon, JUST FYI :p) that will be the method. Not to mention...if i have any problems with that region after I am done having kidlets I'd prefer to just get rid of the whole she-bang anyways...
 
The pill is actually giving me a hard time. I went back to the doc Thursday and she's switched me to something different. I'm a little worried though, on the last one I didn't gain any weight, I actually lost a pound. But I got rancid migranes and vomiting.

Hopefully I won't gain weight on this new one. If it doesn't work out, I'm trying the shot. They won't tie my tubes at 17, heh.
