Post on neogaf.
Maybe your specific fellows ain't up for the job.
It's called a condom and is extremely cheap. In fact here in Norway, they can deliver them free to your house!
Use one at all times and you should be safe. They do not fail, they can hold ten liters of water without failing, so your 10cc's should be fine too. Yes Condom, cheap, efficient and reliable! If any car from the USA was as resilient, efficient and cheap as a condom they'd still be market leader, and not behind the rest of the world
.wait? Planned Parenthood actually states withdrawal as a valid option in the USA?
What is this the 1950's? Everybody in school learns that even the pre-seminal fluid can impregnate you as it CAN contain spermatozoa. But I guess if you list "abstinence" then I guess withdrawal is valid too
.I mean, why not put Castration on that list as well. Or even better put it on the list of "Female forms of Birth control"
. And show a hatchet chopping a carrot as a mental picture .johancruijff

couldn't find any viable solution
after bashing our head for months, my partner decided to try the vaginal ring
she always had problems with pills and patches, but she's fine with the ring
Of course after talking with a doctor

ymmv. (or your partners, more specifically)
When my girlfriend has her (copper) IUD replaced every ... 3(?) or 5(?) years, i accompany her to the obgyn because - while the insertion isn't painful per se - she's just super dizzy afterwards. (like - wouldn't wanna drive a car the following hours). The following days she does experience something similar to light / medium menstruation cramps, but that seems to be about it.
The yearly check-ups are (according to her) no big deal whatsoever.

I had the IUD for a few months after the birth or my first child. Not only was the insertion painful, but it never fully stopped hurting. I went back to the doctor to make sure it was placed correctly and they assured me it was. My husband could also feel it and it made sex sometimes pretty uncomfortable for me. I wish I was one of the many women that can take advantage of this as an option because I HATE the pill.

This has worked very well for me. It keeps the cleaning easier.

And this thread is reaffirmation that, after children, a vasectomy was the way to go.
Before that tho, my wife used BC. In the time between Kid 1 and Kid 2, we used condoms. She didn't like having to take something every day, and I was cool with that.

lol this such a bad joke.
Where are you getting your numbers? Because I am not finding those cases, which are a very small sample and every drug test has outliers.
And it wasn't a pill it's an injection. I am not going to keep arguing with you but I stand by what I said women's birth control has just as bad effects and also failure rate, plus some of the new ones cause blood clots ( trust me those are fun) yet it's okay for them, it only becomes an issue when it's men.

Chop your balls off and donate them to science. Works like a charm, trust me.
Damn this sucks to hear. I wouldn't want to risk putting my girl in constant discomfort. Seems like everything has their drawback.

Girl friend uses that ring thing. It is different but what ever no kids for us.
My fiance got Nuvaring recently (replacing the pill) and she likes it. You may or may not like it depending on what you don't like about the pill. If you don't like having to remember to take it every day, then you probably want to get the ring, but if it's side effects the ring literally does the same thing.
Also I have never felt the ring during sex.

Any gaffers have experience with vasectomies? Been thinking of getting one for a while as I don't want kids. How's the process and how much did it cost you?

My wife did the ring. Worked great.
It amazes me how many people think this is smart/safe

Yeah, I was planning on an IUD after the birth of my child, since it doesn't interfere with breastfeeding, but the possible side effects made me decide to go with the route I was more familiar with. I'm fortunate to have never had a problem with the regular pill. In particular, I was told that with an IUD there could be heavy-to-light sporadic bleeding for up to 6 months, which I really didn't want to deal with. Since I didn't have that side effect with the pill, I went with mini-pill while breastfeeding, then back to the regular pill ASAP. Sorry the pill doesn't work for you! Birth control can be really difficult to figure out and there really aren't any perfect options.

Fedora helps too.

Ah the good ol "technical Virgin" method.
You're the second poster to bring this up, researching it.

This sounds incredibly similar to my girlfriend's experience with both types of IUDs. She had pretty much constant cramps. Also even the one that supposedly wasn't hormonal made her experience terrible mental side effects of anxiety and depression. I'm so glad she got rid of them because she's so much happier now. Such a shame they didn't work for her after all the hard work that goes into having them. She hates the pill too. And the ring made her feel "crazy." I so desperately wish there were more options for men.

IIRC, the incident rates were higher and more severe than what occur for women.
And maybe the standards should be raised for female birth control rather than making everyone suffer?

Completely covered by my insurance, easy surgery (in and out within like 2 hours), and minimal pain after.

The mindfuck is that the real world failure rates for condoms aren't that much better than withdrawal.wait? Planned Parenthood actually states withdrawal as a valid option in the USA?

Aren't all of them that require user action pretty bad when looked at on a several-year timeline? Even pills because of slip ups like:

Everything other than IUDs/implants and sterilization are pretty bad. But combining two methods can help your chances. Like condoms and the pill. There is an 18℅ and 9% chance that either one will fail respectively, but only a 2℅ chance that they will both fail at the same time.
