I prefer none. 
But if I had to choose I would choose condoms. I don't like the way the pill makes me feel.
-
We've always used pull-out. Worked perfectly for 8 years, and got pregnant the first month we tried (more than once).
-
I like my IUD because I don't have to give it any thought at all. We don't want to risk a surprise baby, and I don't really trust myself to remember to take a pill every day, or use a condom.
-
I was happy on the pills. Going fwd tho probably none! Or pill after #2
-
Infertility. Haha. We apparently shouldn't need anything else...not really a preference but a reality.
-
None. Now that I've been off the pill for so long I can't imagine going back. I hate condoms. I guess NFP!
-
I liked the Mirena. Nice not to have to think about anything and I got pregnant quickly after having it removed.
-
@Leialou: I'm the same. I did not do well on the pill. And I got lots of BV infections. Haven't had one since I went off of the pill years ago. We usually use pull out and so far (6 years together) it has worked.
-
@swedishfish: that's our reality too.
-
None. But before I was pregnant I was happy with my fertility monitor + pull n pray during fertile times. (sad that i won't trust this for quite a while until LO is STTN regularly).
-
condoms cant handle anything else!
-
I always liked NuvaRing while I was using it, but now that I've been off it for a while I realized that it lowered my sex drive and generally made me less happy/cheerful. So now I would say condoms (no mess for me
) but DH hates them.
-
The pill... it makes my skin look flawless!
-
Love the pill. I'm going back on it this weekend and very excited about it.
-
@charmed: Ditto the Nuvaring. I was very even-keel for those years.
@swedishfish: And yes, that too...although we're actually "sub-fertile" so I have a feeling it wouldn't have worked completely predictably over the last 10+ years.
-
Don't love how the pill screws with my body, but I don't really like condoms either.
If my cycles were perfect, I'd go with charting/NFP. But that won't work for now.
-
@FliegepilzHut: well, I did get pregnant in January so I guess we are not entirely infertile!
-
Ortho tricyclen
-
I'm on the pill now and don't mind it. I actually don't mind condoms either. We double up protection.
-
i'm on the pill now. i wish there were some other alternative but i'm scared of the iud after hearing so many scary stories about it. we'll just have to take permanent measures....
-
Condoms, I hate the mess!
-
Mirena. I like not having to worry about it.
-
@swedishfish: @Leialou: Us too, except I am way too scared to rely on that in the future. We will prob use condoms until we take more permanent measures.
-
Nada! Yikes.
We use pull and pray though. -
@Ash: yea....we're in the YIKES category too!
ETA: we're using nothing currently. I prefer to not be on the pill, DH prefers not to use condoms.
-
Iud. Don't like hormonal bc and don't trust pull and pray or nfp (my cycle is not predictable)
-
@Ash: @Mrs. J: Same here
-
We currently don't...just pull n' pray. I am not a fan of hormonal birth control & DH doesn't like condoms & IUDs scare me.
-
We've pretty much only used pull n pray when we actually tried to use birth control but we've been married less than two years and are 10 weeks away from baby 2 so clearly that hasn't worked out too well, haha! We're going to use condors after this baby arrives.
-
I don't like how I react to hormonal BC, so I'm done with that...
I'm too scared of pull & pray so condoms it is. As a plus I like that there's no mess. -
Pill but that's more for helping with my weight gain/pcos/skin breakouts at this point. I really cant get pregnant naturally.
-
Pills. I am fine on bc and I don't like my periods and having periods is dangerous for my fertility, so i need SOMETHING
-
Mirena. I love how easy and worry free it is. And no periods!
-
Can I opt for abstinence?!
-
Abstinence/NFP...if I had to choose, condoms over BC
-
None...dangerous for us! Pull and pray.
-
FAM/NFP, very happy with it for a million reasons and have never used anything else. We occasionally throw in a condom if we can't handle to abstain during fertile times. Will rely on lactational amenorrhea postpartum as long as we meet the criteria. Also not terribly afraid of a surprise baby, though.
