My mom & sister worked in L&D for years, my grandma STILL does lol and they all say `what do you call people who use the PO method? PARENTS` cause theyve seen so many PO babies! With my 3 babies I got pregnant the month I stopped taking the pill. It works for us.

I take my chances....I cant say that contraceptives are right for me or my partner. I dont really believe in them (if you uare going to be promiscuous(sp?) by all means, use condoms to protect your health) but as far as pregnancy is concerned, I dont believe in trying to prevent it. I had unprotected sex almost everyday with my partner without pulling out for the better part of 6 years and have only gotten pregnant once so contraceptives are not a good option for us...

I trust condoms. Each time my husband and I got carried away and `forgot` we got pregnant BOTH times lol. We are very careful now and so far no more pregnancies...until we plan it ha

We used the pill and condoms when we really didn`t want to get pregnant (before we were living together) because we had too many condoms break, would never use them without another method. Even the pill isn`t 100%, that`s why we used both for a long time, then after awhile it was just the pill.

Pull out method = Parents (use condoms)

Husband n I used condoms for all 4 years of our married life and never got pregnant. And the month that we didn`t use it, I conceived. So yeah, condoms worked for us. Have never tried the pull out and we don`t think we will ever try it unless we are okay with getting pregnant.

My husband and I used the `pull out` method for 7 years with no scare! Then we tried to get pregant and did within 6 months! But I am too scared to do it again! So we use condoms!

jessberr31 (822.5 days ago)
We`ve been using the PO method for about 8-9mo and no baby yet! A few scares though. I`m VERY fertile and so is my BF and its worked thid far. But I know if I got pg I wouldn`t be happy, lol! I`ll be having surgery in the next couple months so after that no more methods for us either! I wish my BF would go get snipped! Oh, and let me add that my BF is very disciplined when it comes to pulling out and I try not to `do it` on my ovulation days. I don`t reccomend it though! :P

RobinG (822.5 days ago)
Pull out is not a form of birth control IMO and should never be used as such unless you are totally open to having a baby since many have still gotten pregnant by it ~ the pill when taken as directed is 99% accurate (not effective though when taking antibiotics so condom is needed) Condoms I am not sure the % but we used them for 9 years and they worked and when we didnt and TTC we got preggers :)

jessangel411 (822.5 days ago)
Me and hubby succesfully used condoms as birth control for 4 years and didn`t have a single scare. It`s all about how you use them.

MummyLJ (822.5 days ago)
Both my kids are `pullout` babies lol

blondie9504 (822.6 days ago)
I don`t trust either but have used both. I`ve been lucky but he is getting a vasectomy Dec 4th so no more `methods` for us.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
