But my husband is very, very forgetful. Also, he wants 10 children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-860108 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:07:38 +0000 jhd 860108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He almost never forgets to take his vitamins etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-860100 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:03:37 +0000 Sapphiresun 860100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he already has a daily regimen of vitamins and a medication, so it would just be one more pill to swallow at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-860073 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:31:46 +0000 Pepper 860073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I think he'd remember! Before we were trying to get pregnant, he used to be on my back ALL the time about taking my pill, haha. I would forget every now and again, so he'd always be reminding me... "did you take it?" "Did you remember to take it today?" "Did you take your pill yesterday?" lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-860070 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:30:57 +0000 Mrs. Twine 860070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes, and... yes. Right now he is already the responsible party because we're using condoms until he goes in for a vasectomy. He does not want any more kids. And when he said he was 100% sure about it, I totally believed him. If it were up to me alone, we would probably be pregnant with #3 as I type. :P *meaning that we would have an 'oops' because I'm not as good at being, um, responsible in the heat of the moment, not that I want another and he doesn't. We are on the same team for that one, fortunately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859992 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 09:38:09 +0000 prettylizy 859992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure, I know that he REALLY doesn't want more than 2 so in that sense he'd be all over taking the responsibility, but he's so flippin forgetful I just don't know if he would. I think I'd have to tape them to his toothbrush or something like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859986 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 09:31:36 +0000 Ra 859986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This would be our ideal situation. I'm horrible st remembering to take medicine but he is really good about it. Plus, he is adamant that he doesn't want a second (I'm on the fence) so it'd be more motivation for him to remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859932 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 08:50:40 +0000 mrs. bird 859932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: i'm always a bit surprised how many men put all the birth control responsibility on their female partners! if you were that adamant about not wanting a child, shouldn't you take on some of that responsibility??? if DH &amp; i have boys, they will be taught they need to wrap it even if their partners have been tested for STDs and she's on BC, if they don't want the responsibility of a baby, it's absolutely their responsibility to prevent it. </p> <p>i would trust DH to take it, but if i REALLY didn't want a child at that time, i would use some form of birth control myself because i view it as each person's responsibility to prevent if they aren't onboard with procreating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859930 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 08:50:13 +0000 swedishfish 859930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because he can't remember to take a multivitamin daily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859923 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 08:43:59 +0000 yellowbird 859923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would!

I think the thought of more kids freaks him out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859742 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 00:24:54 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 859742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor DH is so absent-minded, we always joke that he'd be lost without me! So no... I probably wouldn't trust him to take it faithfully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859730 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:52:22 +0000 Grace 859730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so. He's used to taking medication every day, so it would be easy for him to add it, without forgetting. Me - I'm terrible at remembering to take medication. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859729 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:50:00 +0000 luckypenny 859729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. He forgets EVERYTHING! I just bought him ginkgo biloba in hopes it'd help his memory and he even forgets that...I do my best </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859721 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:40:03 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 859721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: same here!

Since I'm ultimately the only one of us who can get pregnant and i do not want to get pregnant at all, I feel like I have to be proactive personally about birth control. Maybe I'm a bit control freakish about it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859711 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:15:16 +0000 MamaJ 859711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Because he is forgetful and already wants baby #2 and I'm not on board haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-there-were-a-male-birth-control-pill-would-you-trust-your-so-to-faithfully-take-it#post-859705 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:04:31 +0000 autumnlove 859705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, he would be responsible. </p>
