Default About Contraception

Hi All,
I am going to get marry to soon( by September) and start reading my PhD by October. So I want to have birth control until I finish my PhD. Please tell what would be the best way to have birth control without any troubles in the future (especially future conceive and health of my wife). I know condom is the best choice for this trouble, but people claim that condom leads to reduce sexual pleasure. I dont want to loose any of my and wife's passion or pleasure.

Sitha.

Condom is best and safest. Whoever is telling you that you lose feeling has either never used one or their condom was 10cm thick. It is all the same.

At least try a condom. If you don't like it, you can do something else. Birth control pills can seriously mess up a woman's hormones (they don't always, but they can).

sex without penetration ;P

No, just joking.

Like the other posters said, using a condom is the way to go.

I went on the pill and didn't fall pregnant. I fell pregnant within a month of coming off it (when we started trying).
She can also get the implant however I don't know anything about this.

How long you had been used pils. Is it good idea for using for 3 years?

there are certain forms of contraception that you cannot use over an extended period of time (such as the injection depo provera - no more than 2 years) but oral contraceptions have no time limit. I've used mine for 7 years and I know I'm still fertile.

Your best bet would be to go to your nearest clinic - you and your wife - and research your options with a nurse. Any nurse will tell you that two forms of birth control is always best. For example, if you use a condom, also use spermicide because condoms can break! Unlike what has been said here, they are not the most sure way of preventing pregnancy.

Again, the best thing is to do lots of research with your wife and get some advice from a clinic doctor or nurse.

And for the record, I think depo provera is horrible and should have never been allowed onto the market.

I'll second Nukkepoksy (sorry, can't get the accent!) on the Depo thing - it's probably the worst torture ever invented for women under the guise of medicine.

I think the biggest problem with condoms is that they do break occaisionally, and then you need to get plan B, which messes up your hormones a lot more than birth control pills.

I have two rugrats running around, so I can vouch for that.

If I was dead set against becoming pregnant, I'd double up. Personally, I'd lean towards suggesting birth control pills to your wife (I know some people have had negative experiences with pills, but there are a TON of diferent ones.... so if one is being bothersome, she can always switch to something different)... and then I'd do condoms on top of that.

Since the implant was mentioned here:
The thing is a little plastic tube (about 3-4cm loing and 2mm thick) that goes into the arm. There it leaks a little amount of hormon all the time. This way you wont notice anything at all in terms of sex, and it safest, because it can neiter break like a condom, nor you can forget to take it, like a pill.
The thing works for three years, but is a rather big investment at once (well, for a student at least). Adn of yourse you have to remeber once the three years are over, that you are not save anymore.

Different women react differently on the implant, as with anything else. Generall the dose of hormon you take is smaller than when taken orally. But apparently the reactions of some women to it are somewhat more severe. it's frequent that the period becomes reall irregular, or that it stops all together.

I personally think that sex with condoms is different. Not like you feel less or it is worse or so, just different. Not as cosy or so... hard to explain. But if this is your first sexual experiece with your wife, I am sure wou wont mind the condom at all... as long as at least one of you is good in putting it on.

Abstainance has a 100% success rate at preventing pregnancy. However, this method is even worse than condoms in reducing sexual pleasure.
