Or people who can't have hormonal birth control but don't want to get pregnant =)

[–] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 32 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Yes because it's a well known fact that if a woman has problems with hormonal birth control then her partner automatically is unable to wear condoms.

My partner and I always use condoms, but it is nice knowing where I'm at in my cycle. It helps to know how paranoid I should be since I live in a red state.

I don't trust one method of birth control. We've talked about him getting a vasectomy, and I'll probably be getting a microscope.

To check for sperm. The body can heal in amazing ways, which can include reversing a vasectomy.

No thanks, I already ate.

[–] mina_tie@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Too see if there's still sperms after the vasectomy.

Get a proper lab to check that

[–] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago

That's fair. Before my V my partner was pretty anxious. Plus the few times she's had to have the morning after pill the surge of hormones has fucked her cycle for best part of a year agtert

PSA: this is a reminder that no birth control method is fully bullet proof and that it's perfectly valid to want to use condoms and track ovulation cycles at the same time.

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

Also, vasectomy.

[–] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

No, but maybe they still want to know when they can go at it without one. At least thats what my wife and me are doing.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

That's between my sister-in-law and her husband XD

My wife and I don't have to worry about pregnancy! (Planned) child is due in April =)

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are copper IUD's as an alternative too

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

My sister has one! They seem like a pretty good option

[–] Blahaj_Blast@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

Gods, that sounds awful! I feel for those people... It's difficult/stressful enough otherwise. Those of you have my sympathies.

Same hat (m, f partner can't can't take it) wrap it up!
