I take no BC. I have had the shot, I have had the patch, I have taken many pills, they all had terrible side affects from weight gain to nausea, I have even had a blood clot. I am also allergic to latex. The Dr suggests no BC if that is what I choose.

I have 3 kids. I have a 15 year old who was completely planned for, I have a 13 yr old who we toyed w/ creating and in the heat of the moment we agreed yes we would like for child #1 to have a sibling. 8 years later we had the oops. The last little blessing is now 5 yrs old.

We totally use the withdraw method. It has been successful. We also use the rhythm method and that is how we got the last child. As a 34 year old that method of tracking is NOT no fail.
