Watch out for the hormone-triggered emotional rollercoaster.

There are other much better ways that the patch. My girlfriend was on the patch for awhile, and sometime it was start to unstick... which worried the crap out of me. She then switched to something called Nuvaring. I'm not going to explain it, look it up ;)

Nuvaring

Nuvaring

My GF used that for a few months. It's kinda weird, you (as the guy) can feel it if you're in the right position. Kind of like jousting :D

maybe she cheated on you and you didnt know, maybe her cycle is off, maybe the birth control doesnt work, maybe she misread the instructions on proper usage, maybe she stopped the birth control without telling you.... need I go on?

its both parties responsibilities to prevent unwanted pregnancies and as a guy I also want to cover my ass to make sure that a girl doesnt try to get pregnant on purpose to screw with my life or to try and fix a failing relationship

Paranoid much? Or just a bad judge of character?

Call me paranoid if you want but I like to make sure that I will only have a kid when I'm ready to have one. I've heard stories before of women purposely getting pregnant to try and fix a failing relationship. I know that I can rely on myself to take proper precautions and it helps to eliminate some of the risk of your partner screwing something up.

The absolutely BESTEST form of birth control is abstinence... but that is not a consideration for most.

Second best... and IUD.. no hormones, not pills, no watching the calender... and it is good for five years...

But doctors wont give it to women who do not already have children... well, to be honest, they dont want to give it to anyone anymore unless you are firm in your desire for one. My guess is that because it is good for five years... no one makes money off it every month.

my fiancee had a really bad reaction to the patch. she developed a rash that didn't go away for months after she stopped using it.

she is using the nuvaring now and everything is all good. well, except for the damn ring gets in the way. so we just take it out for those moments.
