I have never been good about taking pills... but talk about an incentive! I would set 14 alarms and 82 Google Calendar reminders.
If there were a male birth control pill, would you trust your SO to faithfully take it?

hahaha...
yes i think i would trust dh to take it. i think he's better at that kinda thing than me
i used to always forget to take bc!
-
Yeah, he would be responsible.
-
No. Because he is forgetful and already wants baby #2 and I'm not on board haha
-
I would trust him to take it, but I would still want to have some form of birth control for myself. 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?!
-
@tysonja: you would forget?!
-
@mrbee: mmmm yeah
we only used bc for about 6 months after we got married before ttc'ing and then didn't use any at all between LO1 and LO2, so i guess maybe i can say i didn't have enough practice? more likely, i knew i would NOT be dissapointed to get pregnant, so it wasn't an urgent thing on my mind hahaha:) if we were done/trying not to concieve, then i HOPE i would be better!!!
-
I think Mr. Jacks would believe in it like a religion! Fervent to say the least!
-
I would trust him way more than I would trust myself.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: same here! Dh would 100% take it on time every day.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
I would. I think the thought of more kids freaks him out.
-
I would trust him to remember, but I would also be on something since I'm the one who could get knocked up.
-
He would probably lose the pills 5 minutes after picking them up from the pharmacy.
-
Oh yes. He is NOT ready for baby number two!
-
I would. He is good about remembering to take pills.
-
Oh yes. He's really good about this kind of stuff! But I'd feel weird not taking something myself!
-
Yep!! He would just take it every night with his vitamins.
-
Yes! When there's something important to remember, he's usually pretty good.
-
I would, he is pretty good about that type of thing and he is more worried about unplanned children than me so if he forgot it would bother him way more than me.
-
I would! He'd be way better at it than me! That's why I have an iud.
-
No because he can't remember to take a multivitamin daily!
-
@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 & 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.
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
*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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yes. He almost never forgets to take his vitamins etc.
-
NOPE. But my husband is very, very forgetful. Also, he wants 10 children.
we only used bc for about 6 months after we got married before ttc'ing and then didn't use any at all between LO1 and LO2, so i guess maybe i can say i didn't have enough practice?
