Sure, babies are cute! But we don't always want to chance making another one when we have sex with our partner.

With so many birth control methods out there - from condoms to diaphragms to permanent procedures (hello, vasectomy!) - it can be confusing to decide which is the best one for you.

Whether you definitely want to have more kids one day, aren't sure if you want to expand your family or not, or are 100% sure the shop is closed for business, you'll find out about all the options in this info-packed episode.

To help make your decision easier, check out the list of questions that starts about 7:20 into the video!


What birth control method do you use? Which ones have you tried and liked - and which ones would you never use again?

Natural family planning. I never plan to use hormonal birth control and I don't agree with permanent methods.

It will help you ttc more easily!

You track your cycles and learn when you ovulate so you either use condoms or abstain during your fertile period (usually about 5ish days per cycle).

lol well, what is it? Not Interested for now though, we're ttc :)

Quoting amazzonia:

you should try NFP, I was nervous at first but it really works! to be more assured you can take classes at the couple to couple league..


Quoting luvcloudydays:

I honestly think most birth controls are unnatural, and mess with our bodies. I've tried everything in the book, and the only thing that has worked for me is condoms. Everything else has always had some sort of side effect that wasn't even worth it.

I had the Essure procedure done. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone honestly. Go have a regular tubal done if you don't want more children. Essure is horrible!
