Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

What contraceptive did you use before?
Which birth control pills are you planning to take when your baby is born?
Would you opt for implants and other non-pill and non-injectable way of pregnancy contraception?

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

As for me, me and my hubby just use an ultra thin condom.
Will try some patches next time. :)

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Pills and Provera :D

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

As I've mentioned in another thread, I'd opt for pills. IUD scares me. :eek:

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

No offense, but same here, implants are scary... Just not my thing.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Me too!! :eek:

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

These are what I've tried: Pills, Condom and Emergency patches...

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Yeah, I've heard of those emergency patches before but never tried one yet. I'm just curious how accurate and effective it is.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Condom, Pills, Nuvaring and emergency patches... :)

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

What exactly are emergency patches? Are they really effective?

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Oh, to answer the question, these are what I've tried so far: Pills and Condom.
BTW, some of my friends use a female condom. Anyone tried it? How was it?

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

I've tried it twice but the feeling wasn't that appealing. Weird at first I guess, but not a fan. :mad:

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Same here Halia, bloody not a fan! IMHO, pills are the best as "nothing" beats the real thing. #naughty ;)

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Are those birth control patches proven effective? :confused:

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Really? Well, I guess it's much more convenient to be used by the guys, right? Well, let's leave the condom to them! Haha! :D

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

I guess. I mean it works with some of my pals. But I feel like I'm not truly confident with it so I prefer pills above all.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

But they say even with pills, the safety isn't 100% as there will still be a chance of getting pregnant. Ligation then is the solution but I'm too early for this kind of option. :p

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Yes, and all artificial contraceptive methods happen to have only 99% efficacy so there's still a chance of getting pregnant. You only get 100% surety of not getting pregnant if you are ligated or your hubby/partner underwent vasectomy.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Another way is to breastfeed. Most moms who do have lesser chances of getting pregnant.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

I'm currently breastfeeding and I should say that we do save a lot of quids by doing so, haha! :p

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Yes, my doctor says it is as effective as the birth control pills but it's being used during a woman's monthly period.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Oh, sounds interesting. I've never heard of a form of contraception that's being used while having a period.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

That's a good idea! But I don't wanna get pregnant just yet. Wanna give all our love and attention first to Schuyler, our handsome boy. :) I'm also nursing but we use extra protection now such as condoms and sometimes use the pull out method. Guess I'm just so paranoid. My bleeding stopped last month so I assume I'll have my regular period next month so we need to be extra careful. ;)

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Don't be too paranoid! Nursing is an effective birth control method and I'm telling you, it's more fun without that extra precautionary measures, LOL! ;)

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

I go for the pill... condoms just feel too artificial, no matter how "thin" it's supposed to be. But i do wish they have pills for men! :D

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

You're right, but I'm thinking.. A pill that'll control the production of their sperm cells? Uhm, that might be a bit weird, haha!

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

That just made me chuckle. But who knows? With our ever-evolving world it may be possible. But I think it could lessen the guy's ego IMHO.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Cool! Well, I still wonder how its efficacy goes though...

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Let me know if you tried it Abana. Oh, you're a TTCer so I know you wouldn't be trying this out for sure. :)

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

But the dotted ones are fun! You should try it, hahaha. #naughtythoughts ;)

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

The ultra thin beat the dotted ones. :rolleyes:

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

I beg to differ. The dotted ones are just too fun to handle, :p

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

I second. The latter feels weird to me.

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Give it a chance the 2nd time then. :p

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

Ok, will do just that. I'll follow you from now on Cadelaria. Thanks for the mentoring! :p

Re: Different Kinds of Contraceptive Methods
 

I've realized, the flavored ones are also something to spice up an enjoyable activity. LOL!!
