Hi,

I'm looking for advice. In the past I have had difficulties with birth control. I became sexually active when I was 16 and initially I tried using the pill and it made me very sick and nauseous so I stopped. I then tried the injections and they were even worse making be feel quite ill and caused me period problems so I stopped that as well. Finally I tried the implant which gave me headaches, made me dizzy and upset my weight.

After these problems I couldn’t seem to find a contraceptive that worked for me so gave up and used condoms which are good for short relationships and the initial stages of a relationship but quickly become really annoying with serious boyfriends when having sex regularly.

So after I’ve been in a relationship for a while I stop using condoms and switch to the “Pull Out” technique and just ask boyfriends not to cum inside me.

I’m now nearly 23 and have had have had regular unprotected sex with 5 (including my current) boyfriends using the “pulling out” technique. All my boyfriends have been good at using this technique but I’m aware that it’s not a particularly safe one even when done properly and of course accidents have happened on several occasions where a BF has ejaculated inside me.

I feel I’ve been lucky up to now and haven’t fallen pregnant yet, even when accidents have happened. I don’t want to get pregnant so want to get on some form of birth control but don’t know what to try next as I’ve had trouble in the past.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!
Fiona.
