Yes, I agree 100%. We used the condom with BC every time for 2.5 years, then after we got married, we have varied condoms with pulling out (still on BC... the NuvaRing). That's only because now that we are married and a bit older, we wouldn't feel like an accidental child would ruin our lives, but we still don't want to go to the risk of him ejaculating inside me. So we are taking slightly more risk now than we used to, but only because we are ready to handle the consequences better than we used to. We are not going to go whole-hog (no condoms, no pulling out) until we are darn close to deciding if we want to start trying to conceive.
