Husband Refuses to Wear Condom, Doesn't Want Baby Either

Re: Husband Refuses to Wear Condom, Doesn't Want Baby Either

    Yes, we talked about it very thoroughly; I was a nanny and the hours I was required to work were not allowing me to finish school. We have a small department at my college and most of the classes are only offered at one time, during one semester. It's not really my desire, and not working is driving me crazy - but at this point, I only have a month of this garbage left.

    As far as IUD, I have asked my midwife and other GYN's about this and no one will put one in unless you have previously had a child due to its ability to tear your uterus.

    Actually that is not true. I got a IUD (Mirena - I love it!) and have not had a child. And I'm 21. It hurts a bit going in, but take some pain killers before hand and you'll be fine. Women who have had children tend to get IUDs more than those of us who have not have children, but that is merely a tendency. They can still tear the uterus or go through the wall in women who have had children as well as those who have not, but that does not happen often and my GYN told me to just make sure I can feel the strings once a month and if I can't to make an appointment and she'll make sure everything is still where it should be. But no, that is incorrect.

    It definitely depends on the area and more importantly, the doctor. While your doctor may be comfortable doing this, a lot of doctors are as equally unwilling to do so. She didn't say it can't be done she said she can't find someone who is willing to do it. I also had trouble finding someone to perform the procedure since I had not previously had a child. (Moot point now since I ended up getting knocked up shortly after and got one after childbirth).
