- Why have you chosen your method(s) of birth control?
I get very sick once or twice a year, and usually get a round of antibiotics once the ick hits my lungs. With the pill, my birth control would be rendered ineffective... and then again when I took the yeast infection meds to counteract the delightful side effect of the antibiotics. The coughing fits from the ick would also sometimes cause me to throw up my pills. After 2 solid months of ineffective birth control, I decided I wasn't doing that anymore. I like mah lovin'.
- Did expense weigh in on your decision?
Heck yeah! I'm using the Mirena IUD, which cost me $15 and last 5 years, as opposed to the $25 a month I was spending for the pill.
- Does it work well with your lifestyle?
Yes! I love it. The Mirena's going to stay put and not be zonked due to other meds!
- Did a physician recommend this method? Yes, my doctor loves them.
- How long have you used this method? Since March.

- Are you in a committed relationship? Yes indeedly-do.

- Would your birth control choice change if you moved your relationship to another level? Nope.
- Did you choose your birth control method based on your level of sexual activity? Yes! As stated above, I like mah lovin'.

Are you using birth control for quality of life, health or financial reasons?
- Is your income so low you do not feel you could provide a child with a healthy quality of life? Right now, I wouldn't want a child. Get a little more settled and then yes!
- Are you opposed to the idea of feeding a family with food stamps, WICK, or other government programs?
No... but I work there, see, and provide FS benefits for other families, and I know that I'm actually ineligible for EVERYTHING on my salary. So it's not even an issue, unless I decide to quit my job, which would just be fucked up if I have a financial concern!
- Would having a child interfere with your career or chosen lifestyle? Nah.
- Do you have mental or physical health issues that lead you to believe you would be an unfit parent? Nope.
- Are you (or your lover) on medications that require prescribed birth control? Nope!
- Would you pass along a known genetic disorder if you were to reproduce? Nope... unless you count "devasting cuteness" as a disorder.
