What type of birth control do you and your partner use?

I am on the pill - Lo-estrin 24 - its pricy but it's the only pill that works for me. I've been on pleeeeeeeenty and Lo-estrin 24 is my top choice..brand only still, and no insurance makes it about $85/month (here in arizona, pricing I am sure is different state-to-state) but with a discount card I get it for about $50/month thankfully I get next to no side effects with this one and take active pills for 24 days rather than 21. Love it. That is all we use currently.

I voted for just condoms and the pill because right now my fiancee is on the pill (no clue which one) but we're thinking of switching to just condoms.

I use a Copper T IUD, the kind without hormones. It works great for me since I react very badly to hormones.

The wife and I don't use anything, but if somehow she got pregnant we would be happy.

After being on various hormonal forms of birth control which all acted negatively on me in one way or another we used condoms 100%.

I finally got an IUD which I am very satisfied with and no negative side effects after more then a year.

We use condoms. Use to be on the pill but got tired of payin for it. Condoms are much cheaper

we don't use any save the withdrawal method. has worked so far just fine.

Just the pill. Have no clue what the brand is.

Ortho TriCyclian Low BC pills. They're amazing. I've never had a side effect.

My man is fixed so we are golden. All the fun , but no sperm.

i was worried about forgetting to take pills but it really hasn't been a problem since i set a recurring notification on my phone. i take lutera, which is affordable and available at pretty much all the pharmacies. made me nauseous for the 1st 2 weeks but fine afterward. no weight gain, no break outs, and no heavy periods make me a happy girl.

i have the iud mirania. i just got it 2 weeks ago and its ok....

I'm not on any birth control right now, but I've been meaning to get back on the pill.
The first time I got on the pill, it was loestrin-24. I had my period for a month straight! I stopped taking it, and my period stopped, so I got on yasmin and was fine with that until my insurance stopped covering it

Just the pill for me, Tri-spentic. I have been using this one in between to planned pregnancies. I have no issues with them. I like the pill it has been around 20 years longer than all the other forms of BC and if I want to stop the use it does not take my body 6months to get back to normal. I do not like the idea of most of the other forms of BC. I trust something that has had enough proper time to study, not so much this new age stuff.

I'm taking a standard birth control pill. I have no idea what the brand is because the pharmacy recently switched me to a different one.

I use Seasonique. Condoms now because I'm off the pill with an insurance issue. Hate condoms, though, so avoid when we can. Seasonique gives me 4 periods a year and decreases my period from 10 days to 5-6 days.

Oooh! I'm the first diaphragm user here.

I really love it. I can't take the pill or any other hormonal birth control, because it just messes my mind and body up too much. A diaphragm is perfect for me since it's a barrier method, is reuseable and low cost, and lasts a long time. Used with spermicide (and withdrawal, more often than not), it's very effective.

I actually had trouble getting a diaphragm. They're not popular anymore. They used to be... but somehow people just forgot about them. When I asked for one at the clinic, they acted like they barely knew what I was talking about, and the doctor tried to change my mind. I have a theory that they prefer writing scripts for pills because it's easier than doing a fitting for a diaphragm. Also, diaphragms don't make much money for the pharmaceutical companies (because you only have to buy one every so many years), so they don't push them as hard as they do more expensive stuff.

So yeah, any time before sex, spermicide goes in diaphragm, diaphragm goes in vagina, penis goes in vagina. Diaphragm stays in for at least six hours after sex, then is removed and washed. It can be worn for 24 hours, as long as more spermicide is applied (via applicator) before having sex again.

I use YAZ birth control pills and we almost always use condoms.

I heard horror stories of my friends throwing up for weeks because of them starting on YAZ, but it has been fabulous to me. Cleared my skin up a bit (though two or three zits will still pop up during my period) and greatly helped my cramps. I used to have terrible, writhing-on-the-floor cramps throughout my period before I started YAZ, and now I only have barely-noticeable ones for the first day or so.

Other... Pull & pray! Though my husband is due for a vasectomy. I still wouldn't mind going back on Ortho Tri Cyclen, only so that I know when I'm getting my period. I had a sample of Seasonique but I would tweak out for 3 months until I got my period.
