Hey, a part of me wants to stop taking the pill due to the negative effects of the hormones, but I’m extremely anxious about only relying on condoms. I also personally don’t like the way condoms feel inside. I know there are non-hormonal implants but I also personally don’t want an implant at all. That doesn’t leave anything else does it? I hate that it has to be this way for us. I wish it was a normal thing for men to take their own form of birth control.

you can try different brands/dosages or the mini pill if you’re on the combo and vice versa

Do you actually get negative side effects on the pill you’re on?

Yeah it's stupid that the bulk of responsibility for contraception falls on women when men are equally responsible for pregnancy. Have you tried experimenting with some different brands of condoms? I like skyn (the lubricated ones) to me it basically feels like they're not there

I am in the exact same boat! I’ve dived into holistic health and tbh learning about how the pill impacts mental health, libido, etc. I feel so out of tune with my body since I’ve been on it for 5 years. But also really scared of relying on condoms + don’t want an IUD.

Is there any specific reasons you don’t want the implant? Or an IUD? Id suggest talking to your doctor and trying out a different form of BC. There’s so many options out there.
