No we can’t afford children yet. But we both have been working full time since a couple weeks ago. Our plan is to have kids in a year or whenever we are financially stable enough. The only form of birth control we use are condoms. We’ve tried hormonal birth control but the side effects were wreaking havoc on her mental health. I wanted her to try the copper IUD since there are no hormones. But she won’t have any of it. Which a part of me thinks she likes the higher risk of being pregnant solely relying on condoms.
