Married and Using Condoms???

Re: Married and Using Condoms???

  • I have the nuvaring and we use condoms. For us, condoms are cheaper than kids at this point. lol

    I haven't had any problems with the nuvaring or condoms. We agreed on this when we started dating.

  • I hated the Pill. I ended up getting pregnant and miscarrying on it. I quit and got pregnant with DD. We use condoms + NFP (trying to be super cautious) right now.

    And for the PP that is allergic to condoms: we use non-latex Skyn. 

  • We started marriage on the pill but I had some gnarly side effect and the Dr suggested coming off it. We're using just condoms now and we're considering an Merena after our first kid. We'll see.

  • We were using condoms but it took away the spontaneity and my husband hated how desensitizing they were. Recently got the Nuvaring bc i hardly have to think about it. And i'm paranoid about unwanted pregnancy so I also often use spermicide. 
  • I was on BCP with no condoms for 7 years before we got married, and then I had a blood pressure issue, so I couldn't re-up my Rx...so, now we're using condoms, which sucks, but I was able to find a website that sells them in bulk, so it was a little cheaper. I have an appt in a few weeks to get a new Rx for BCP...

  • We are not having children so I was always pretty strict with BC but did have a time when we only used condoms. MH was okay with that and so was I but got the Paraguard last Feb. and now use only that. When my Paraguard is up, in 10 years, we'll have DH get a Vasectomy. 
  • Before we were married through 3 months after we got married, I was on BCP (3.5 years total). Now we've been using FAM and condoms during fertile/questionable times for 8 months. Much happier being free of artificial hormones.

  • We only use condoms. I can't take birth control for health reasons. 3 years later with only condoms we are still childless :)

     Next year sometime we will start TTC and not use anything.

  • I've been on the pill for 9mo but am thinking about getting off.

    I hate the side effects.

  • Yes! Just rely on the pill and ditch the condoms! Sex is SOOO much better without it! Messy, but better!
  • DH and I have always just used condoms.  I don't feel comfortable about going on BC and gaining weight and having all the side effects. 
  • I have the Mirena IUD. We used condoms briefly in the beginning of our marriage, but they were very painful.
