IUD if not trying to get pregnant for a while. Otherwise pullout.

 Well, I agree, like, I think a UID is a great idea, I'm just scared of em so I use the patch+spermicide with condom, and pullout with ovulation timing 

When I was pregnant that one time is was because the condom had a hole and my spermicide was fucked, and I was out of patches, so it was a lot of bad luck 

Definitely learned my lesson

If you wear a condom, AND pull out, and there is spermicide and you do this when you are not ovulating, it is highly unlikely you will EVER get pregnant. Especially while being on the patch or the pill, I like the patch it's easier to remember. Make sure to test the condom afterwards by filling it with water and seeing if there are any leaks. Do these things and you can't go wrong, hopefully, and always take plan B if the condom is leaking

Seems a bit excessive to both condom and pull out, unless you're buying super cheap condoms with holes in them or something. It's not like sperm can seep through it, and many even have spermicidal lubricant on them already (only opting not to for people allergic to it I think). Otherwise have some Plan B around for emergencies, but that should be pretty rare, and at the end of the day safe sex isn't too pricey. 

Enough people I've known who've taken the pill began to act out more often or even get sick, so there's been times where other means of prevention had to be explored. The hormone adjustments it has people undergo isn't for everyone. 

Also going to note how there were studies for Male Birth Control Pills, but they were not proliferated on the market from the men becoming 'Mood Swingy'. 

For whatever reason that's okay to have women go through, but not men. I was so mad when I'd first heard that, as being able to make sperm impotent with a pill sounds amazing, and significantly less invasive compared to a vasectomy.

I get free stuff from planned Parenthood to help me and I order a lot in bulk, I probably am going overboard though

 Yes my patch does this to

 Well I would like some male birth control for us, br could have a bigger part in our birth control plan, it never felt right that I get to be on pills and he doesn't, all he gets to keep himself safe is a condom and he just has to trust me which is unfair

How can I get this male birth control?

>Most recently, a study published in October and backed by the World Health Organization showed that a hormonal birth control injection for men effectively prevented pregnancy in their female partners. But the trial was stopped in 2012 on the recommendation of an outside panel noting one participant’s suicide and serious side effects in others, including depression. (The board cut the trial short, not the volunteers)

>But the reason isn’t because men aren’t willing to use different methods. Research and development for male contraceptives has been slow, and the field is littered with abandoned and unfinished efforts. Investigators working on male contraceptive drugs say there are two major challenges to bringing these products to the market. For one, blocking the production of millions of sperm per day in men versus preventing the release of one egg per month in women is just more complicated, biologically speaking. Secondly, there’s little funding available for clinical trials of these drugs.

 Well this is ridiculous, men have a right to have more control over their reproductive rights, reproductive control should be a human right, for men and women, and condoms are just not very dependable on their own on the man's behalf, and abstinence is not an effective expectation to reduce pregnancy. We need birth control for men and we need it now. This puts men in a position where women could easily take advantage of them
