| If you haven't already done so, I'd also have a conversation with your OBGYN about waiting 3-5 years to start trying for a baby if you're already in your 30s. Just so you have an accurate view of fertility statistics. |

Does he not want to have children yet? Then he has to keep using a condom. Each person is responsible for their own contraception. Two forms of contraception are necessary if you really want to have good protection.
Men have to use birth control all the time until they are ready to have and support both financially and in terms of time a future child. Do you not want to have children yet? Then keep the IUD in until you do, and make him use a form of birth control that he chooses (for men it's basically only condoms, maybe spermicide instead, but that's not really entirely "his" responsibility since it has to be inside you.) |

Why get the IUD if you're not going to trust it? There is a slim chance you'll get pregnant. There's also a slim chance you'll get hit by a bus walking across the street, but you probably are not going to hole up at home all the time because of that slim chance.
Sex without condoms feels better, and it sounds like there is no STD worry, so lose the condoms if you believe in the IUD. |
+1 This is a good data point about his character. |
hello elaine!
|
what we did was pull out and a clean finish with oral. It seemed to be just as good or better! |
Condoms are terrible, I would rather skip it and go to oral. |
He wasn't born with it in his hand, there's a sack that the baby floats in, which an IUD would never be able to enter. Knuckleheads here. |
it was placed in the baby’s hand after it was born via c-section. |
Alrighty then, the three of you must have missed school that day, but an erection carries a very small amount of semen to the tip of a penis. Eggs can be exposed to swimmers through mere penetration of the vaginal canal. Male orgasm is ergo not a prerequisite to pregnancy and "pulling out" is really bad advice. |
Every one of these PP's, and the OP, also had an IUD, but thanks for demonstrating the internet truism that the first person to call someone uneducated in a thread will do it while saying something incredibly ignorant. |
Huh? By that logic he should wear them even after they get married. |
If the concern is STDs then letting him blast in your mouth isn't a great idea either. |
I don't see a problem with that. Less mess too. |
| This is obviously personal but it sounds like OP thinks her need to satisfy her man outweighs the worry of accidental pregnancy. |
