oh, I just want to hug you! haha. More
power to you for wanting to be responsible
with this issue!
Being in your position before, I highly
recommend using more than just a condom.
It is far too frequent that they sometimes
break and when they are the only form of
birth control that you are using, the
situation can become pretty scary.
From a female's, and recent med student's,
perspective, there are many many other
forms of birth control that can be more
reliable and easier to use than birth
control pills. It is actually medically
recommended to use at least two forms of
bc. I personally used condoms and depo
provera injections until my partner and I
felt able to deal with the consequences of
only using one.
I, of course, do not know your
girlfriend's, nor your opinions,
concerning the specific types and usages
of birth control, but I strongly encourage
you to look into your options. Physically
and medically speaking, I can not think of
a way that your girlfriend, you, and a
health care professional could not devise
a birth control plan. Obviously,
everyone's body is slightly different from
the next, but with so many options there
IS a match.
Lastly, I know I may be stepping way out
of line and I apologize. However, I have
always had the opinion that if you have
made the decision to be mature enough to
have a sexual relationship then you should
logically be mature enough to be
responsible about your, and your
partner's, health and safety.
Unfortunately, far far too many people
apparently do not agree. I completely
congratulate you on wanting to be
responsible. There needs to be more people
like you out there. Good Luck!
