More than one form of birth control

DNK777 · January 2010

If you were not ttc, did you use more than one form of birth control at once?

preppynewlywed · January 2010

No.

We've only ever used NFP {the best we could b/c of my cycles}.

ETA: We were both virgins when we got married, so I never had to worry about it until then.

*KC*luvs*RJ* · January 2010

Nope.

fabbate13 · January 2010

Before ttc I only ever used one form. The pill.

swimrbride · January 2010

Not with DH.

Melaneigh1 · January 2010

We used condoms.

pmarie33 · January 2010

yes and no

Yes when I was a teenager and it wouldn't have been ok if I got pregnant

No when I was stable in my career and it would have been ok if one form of b/c failed and I got pregnant

Thusadeedoo · January 2010

Nope. We have only ever used condoms or BCP never both at the same time.

LMAO...interesting question considering today's events.

Before we were married we used two forms--we did not want a baby. After we got married, we ditched one method, and I stayed on the bcp.

The only time I did was when the shot I was on was recalled because peeps were getting KU left and right. I was on the once a month shot and VCF.

We used condoms only when we were sophomores in college, and then I went on the pill junior year. We basically said good-bye to condoms after that; we were each other's onlies, so it wasn't too much of a concern.

And now that I have had the "pleasure" of two three-month TTA cycles post d&c's this year - I remember why we were so quick to get rid of them. They SUCK.

(It is hilarious, by the way, to think of mine and DH's sex life in college. We were 19 and ridiculous. Sigh, youth).

It was based on a post from today. I thought it was weird how many posters said that if they were not ready for a baby they would be using more than one form of birth control.

greenclown · January 2010

Nope, because we would have been fine with me getting KU. We'll use two until it's okay for me to get pregnant again (if you count charting to avoid as one).

kittybits21 · January 2010

nope. charting and bcp and that's about it.

Poeia · January 2010

Yes, until we got married. Then we went to one.

jCamsquared · January 2010

Condoms and BCP. And then the last 9 monthsish before we ttc charting and condoms. I never trusted BCP on it's own because I almost always skipped at least one pill a month. So not necessarily the BCP that I didn't trust, but myself lol. I think after I have the baby we will just use condoms and attempt charting once the baby sttn. I never want to go on hormonal BC ever again.

armandos_girl · January 2010

We have used two in the past - charting and condoms or BCP & condoms. Now we are only charting to avoid.

chassy1 · January 2010

Flame away- we never used anything.

This.

I know this is not the point but if I was not married, I sure as heck would use two forms of BC.

In college I was on BCP and used condoms. When we first got married and I didn't have health insurance we continued that way. When I was past the waiting period for pregnancy to be covered on my insurance plan we ditched the condoms, and soon after the BCP as well.

MandyBrownNoser · January 2010

Charted to avoid and used condoms (all the time) as well as abstaining when I started getting O signs. Right now we aren't ttc (it wouldn't be the end of the world if we got pregnant, just trying to focus on other things) but we are cognizant of when O time might arrive and we just abstain because we don't want to do condoms- my husband hates them.

bayhunter6 · January 2010

When I was on the pill, we did pull and pray (if that even counts as b/c). Now I have an IUD and we rely solely on that. If I get pregnant now, it will be earlier than planned but I'd be thrilled. DH would be shocked for a day or two and then thrilled. So for now, we're just using one.

mmk3742 · January 2010

Before we were married either we used condoms or once I was on bcp, that and pull and pray (not really a method.)

After marriage only bcp. Until they made me insane and now we chart and sometimes use condoms and sometimes use pull and pray and sometimes abstain. Just depends on the day.

But we aren't against me getting pregnant. Just wanting to wait for my disability to kick in in March.
