Birth Control: Yes or No

TFCNU · 2014-11-04T19:08:05+00:00

Never leave reproductive responsibility in someone else's hands. A condom is the last time you have a say in a potential pregnancy. Slightly less pleasurable sex is way better than 18 years of child support.

Have her check with the doctor on getting an IUD. They're good for up to 12 years, and don't affect hormones.

I'm going to venture to comment on this as a female..

Anyway, birth control was a big mistake for me personally. I started taking it when my husband and I began dating, KILLED my sex drive. NOTHING. I eventually went to OB and asked her about low libido and basically scoffed at me. I got terrible migraines, then was prescribed other medication to curb that. Finally, 3 years ago and 3 years into my marriage I quit taking them. SLOWLY, my young 20's sex drive came back. 6 years into my marriage I'm still apologizing to my husband for the lack of sex in the beginning. Also no more headaches. I think BC is terrible for the body and overall health. I will never touch it again. I'm not sure if she is taking them simply so you don't need condoms, or is she taking them for other issues like hormonal imbalances? They are MANY other healthier ways to get hormones in check (heavy weightlifting did wonders for me). Regardless, if it's just so you don't need condoms, I don't think all the other potential negative effects would be worth it! I like that she is involving you in the decision, I kind of wish my husband would have protested more against it, he was definitely aware of all the harmful effect it was having on me/us. We agree now NEVER AGAIN.

This question often comes up in other female subs I read, and have been ATTACKED for even suggesting BC is terrible for you and should be avoided. God forbid I have an opinion that the feminists don't like.

V. V is for vasectomy. This post was brought to you by the letter V.

Forgot to take her birth control... Use condoms. You're playing high stakes by trusting her to take them on a regular basis if she's already forgot twice. Wouldn't want to see you be a dad if you aren't ready yet, OP.

just to play devils advocate

my ltr is on the pill and its great

redditor1255 · 2014-11-05T02:06:41+00:00

Pills are so antiquated.

Get the copper T-bar, or a hormone implant, or something else of that nature. If the birth control doesn't need a doctor to undo it, you should keep a condom on your dong.

tombreck2 · 2014-11-04T17:53:22+00:00

In my experience with LTRs + the pill I have been told by the girl that it takes a little while before they get used to it. Something like 1-2 months depending on the girl.

Depo-Provera, especially if she is already forgetting. Effective and requires less maintenance.

bleh321 · 2014-11-05T04:59:29+00:00

I have my women on birth control and don't finish in her just to make sure... keeps the nice sensation and further mitigates the risk.

I think however, this has ruined my ability to actually finish inside of her with my internal feedback loop being that I need to pull out to finish (probably about 15 years of this technique)

I am somewhat worried about having children in the future and being unable to finsih inside...anyone else having this issue?

TheRealMewt · 2014-11-04T20:08:57+00:00

There's more kinds of birth control than just the pill. Perhaps your girlfriend would be a better candidate for the shot or Nuvaring, for example.

With that said, never leave your reproductive choices in the hands of another human being. If you aren't adversed to using condoms, use them.

Hormonal BC fools the woman's body and makes it think it's pregnant. Would you want to be around someone who is perpetually pregnant?

There are better, more reliable choices.

There are some in the scientific community that believe that long-term birth control use is responsible for the prevalance of kids born with autism/adhd/transexuality, ect.

Of course, Academia will never allow birth control to be challenged, so this research probably will never happen.

It's pretty common sense that fucking with women's sex hormone levels for decades of their lives can't be good for when the woman actually wants to get pregnant.

xAFC · 2014-11-05T05:39:34+00:00

IUD's bro! (inter uterine devices). A great alternative to "the pill" with NO hormones required. Of course they have their own advantages and disadvantages research.

How did you react to her forgeting to take the pill?

TekkomanKingz · 2014-11-05T17:47:07+00:00

Try other brands. Some pills work better in some women than others.

Hank711 · 2014-11-05T22:56:53+00:00

Girls get used to birth control, eventually, and that shit calms down. I had this whatevership girl -- should have been a plate but it was before I found TRP -- who did the same thing when she started the pill. She mellowed back out and her tits stayed bigger.

JosephBarryLee · 2014-11-10T23:21:44+00:00

Freeze sperm, then vasectomy

Littlenewred · 2014-11-04T20:22:42+00:00

If she's still having mood swings and her sex drive hasn't gone back to normal after a month or two she needs to go back to her doc and try a different method. If she's the type to forget to take a pill I highly recommend the patch. You have added benefit of actually seeing it on her to know it's working. Keep using condoms until she's been taking it without fail for an entire cycle or you risk pregnancy.

bobbybluepill · 2014-11-04T22:51:26+00:00

I got downvoted to hell for suggesting this before, but check out CycleBeads (Google it).

You can learn to effectively monitor when she's fertile and when she's not, and if you be responsible enough to pull out, you can really reduce your risk of pregnancy. Worked for me for a long time.

Additionally, maybe you should look into that non-hormonal copper implant.

For me: I'm distrustful of any LTR where the girl's hormones are being altered.

RPstudent · 2014-11-04T22:11:45+00:00

"Never allow a woman to be in control of the birth..."

Birth control is a yes. Specifically, take control of the conception by not allowing it to happen.

giraffe34 · 2014-11-05T02:04:05+00:00

I believe she was also ovulating yesterday

You know that birth control stops ovulation, right?

To be honest, there's a possibility that she's being a dramatic toddler over her birth control pills, aka the placebo effect. Forgetting it for a day or two does not reverse the effects of it.

abdada · 2014-11-04T18:54:09+00:00

I won't allow gender bending hormones in my love life.
