Hey guys,
long story short, my gf and i are sick of condoms. weve been using them as birth control for about 2 months now, and they are quite a hassle, especially if we want to do it in the shower or something, having to carry a supply all the time etc.
i asked the doctor today because i was concerned that the pill and the injections can cause health problems but he told me that it only really occurs if she has present problems like blood clots and heart conditions. otherwise its pretty safe
does anyone have experience with using non-condom birth control, including pill, injection, implants etc (anything you can think of save coitus interruptus.) Better or worse than using rubbers? How pricey are they? What (if any) sideaffects do you or your partner get? How long do they last before they need to be reapplied? (the doc said implants was every 3 years, injections once a month).
plz no flames, im going up again on the weekend with her to get a more in depth opinion and then find out which is the most suitable for her and for us
also keep in mind that we dont have STIs so 'preventing' them isnt an issue.
thanks guys/girls

yeah, but its possible to get backpressure on the nuts and permanent pain =/
i cant think of much worse than constant testicle pain, can you? vasectomies are kinda harsh, i was thinking more of a temporary solution rather than surgery

Well... Honestly I would not only rely on the pill for birth control... They are prescribed to her as far as i know. If i were you i would still use condoms for the first couple of months, the pill is more affective the longer used and if she can be a perfect pill user (take the pill around the same time of day every day) then your chances of becoming a father are just as likely that I will be come the next Wilt Chamberlin ( im 5'10")  So....the longer taken the better off you are, and the pill will help with her monthly present if she is having problems already.

isn't there a time frame after her period.. when you can do without rubber?

yeah i read up and it said i should keep using condoms for a couple of weeks at least because it takes a while for the injections to work and stuff. so ill be doing that for sure, but afterwards im hoping to rid myself of plastic on my cock at least for a little while

hmm ive heard yes and no about that, ill have to ask about that too. but it seems kinda risky since sometimes her period isnt all that regular

there is (i think) a time before her period she is less fertile, but a time after her period she is most fertile.

Idk..if i would put my trust in a girl taking the pill...its something they have to do everyday...and if they forgot a few times...well then ya. I have been with girls that used most forms...and to me...the patch just seemed the easiest if i remember its applied 1 time a week...accept the week of their period or something like that...i forget...and u know they are using it...cuz well u can see it lol....all have pros/cons...you should take ur gf to the doctor...and see what she feels most comfortable with. Also planned parenthood is free.

hmm so its not to be relied upon then?
i know the pill and stuff isnt 100% safe but its close enough for me to not worry about anything happening afterwards

yeah this saturday we are going up to get another opinion and ask a few questions
the patch is the one thats applies for the first 3 weeks then stopped on the last week of the month? do you know the cost of those? dont worry she doesnt want kids yet either so she may forget but she wont stop taking them on purpose without telling me

My ex and i had sex without a condom (was in the heat of the moment kind of thing) and even thou she was on the pill for over a year. I was still shitting my pants for a few weeks waiting to see if she got her period, she did and was so relieved. Even thou the pill is 97 - 99 % effective there is still always that 1% or 3% chance that your launched into parenthood. Also, the pill will make her period come on the same day usually or around a two day margin.

yes i belive thats how the patch works...and also...im not saying ur gf would do that just that there are girls out there...that do some really low things...and ive learned that from experience...for example a girl saying shes pregnant when shes not...and sticking with that story for a few weeks til being called on a lie...ugh not fun times...thats why i just stick with condoms lol...no more drama and worrying. and i have no clue about the cost...always just went to planned parenthood with the girl. make sure to ask lots of questions about each type..im sure u will.

Well, if you dont want to use condoms, and other methods of birth control dont sound safe enough, how about abstinence? :V
jk.

well condoms arent always effective either (sometimes they break or leak or whatever). and if something like that does happen, theres always abortions, coz i dont think that 1% will occur very often
but ur right, its not 100% is effective but alot of things in life that relatively safe carry even a marginal risk

Obama signed a law today repealing some bill Bush signed in '02 or '04 that drastically increased the price of birth control (pill). In the next few months, birth control pills should see a sharp decrease in price to match the government subsidization. If price isn't an issue anyway, meh- just use the pill.

weighing all the options...id say condoms are best...no side effects for ur gf...less worrying..cheaper...and if your using the right kind/size arent going to break or come off....unless your trying to fit your horsecock into regular sized ones lol...but i know your post was about wanting to use BC and not use condoms...so ya.
edit: Also how can we forget condoms...help prevent std's!!! how could we leave that out...i guess for people in super commited relationships...BC might be a good option....otherwise condoms get 2 thumbs up from me.
