I am on the pill, but at this point we still use condoms too.

Allow me to amend my vote to "I LIKE TO THINK I know my body well enough not to use contraception." ^^;; No one is guaranteed not to get pregnant unless they simply don't have sex. Don't fool yourselves, ladies.

Sometimes we just do it, (I'm married) and we know when to pull out and what not. Usually we use VCF's, though.
Any irritation from the VCFs?

We use condom + withdrawal + rhythm because we are terrified of hormonal birth control as much as we are afraid of pregnancy.

I have the implanon. it's a small, match-stick sized sick that is inserted in the arm and lasts up to 3 years. I can't handle the hormones of others and I got pregnant twice on the pill. I need something effective that I don't have to think about

I'm on the pill. Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo messed with my hormones pretty bad so I switched to Gianvi and haven't had a problem with it since.

I do not want to take hormonal birth control for health reasons, and I hate condoms....so it's pulling out for us, and sometimes he will cum inside before and after my period, when Im least fertile.

i use birth control and condoms.. for the longest time I thought it would be ok to not use condoms, until my boyfriend cheated on me and gave my syphilis!

I use the Depo Provera shot, and I've been on it for almost 4 years now, hopefully I won't have to use birth control for much longer as I plan to be sterilized in January.

I'm on seasonal, a pill which lets me have a period every three to four months if I want, or I can take them continuously and not have a period.

I do use condoms if I take a pill late. I've never missed one but I have slept through my alarm before.

I have a latex sensitivity so if I use condoms they are non-latex. I must say I liked them better than latex, but my fiancee liked them better also.

He said they did not stretch as much so they were tighter on his skin, and the material allowed for more sensation.

I used to be on Loestrin 24 Fe, but it made me super sick. It gave me a bad case of insomnia, and I could barely function. Now I am on NuvaRing, and I have not had any problems yet!

I have an IUD because I'm not compatible with any other birth control.

I'm on the shot. I haven't bled since February, so I don't worry about unprotected sex. But I'm also in a committed relationship.

Not to say that I worried about it, even when I wasn't. =/

I have the Mirena IUD and I LOVE it. It is the best thing ever. I don't have any periods, no more pms, no more crazy mood swings...it's awesome, the only downside is being careful about STIs since there's a direct line up into my uterus.

When I was single (as well as when I first together with my now husband) I was on the pill and also used condoms for the first six months or so. My husband had a vasectomy several years ago so no birth control for us since then and we both absolutely LOVE it!
