This is fun.
Why have you chosen your method(s) of birth control? I take the pill and I chose it because it seemed the most straight forward out of all the other options.
- Did expense weigh in on your decision? I guess so in so far that I wanted it to be something I could afford, which it was.
- Does it work well with your lifestyle? Yes. I just use a sports watch and set an alarm on it so I remember to take it. It works pretty well.
- Did a physician recommend this method? No
- How long have you used this method? Dang, probably about 5 years now...
Are you in a committed relationship? Yes
- Would your birth control choice change if you moved your relationship to another level? Yes, if I was single I would probably get off of it. If we were married I would probably still remain using it, depending on the stage of our relationship (wanting a kid or not)
- Did you choose your birth control method based on your level of sexual activity? yes. I thought it would be a pretty easy way to have sex whenever I wanted without the hassle of a condom. Since sex was pretty frequent I thought the pill was worth it. Now, i'm not so sure, but remain taking it out of habit, regulating my periods that have always been irregular and "just in case".
Are you not in a committed relationship? I put that I was in a committed relationship. But it could also be interpreted that I am NOT in a committed relationship since we're not thinking about getting married and not sure that that would happen. I guess it depends on your definition of committed. We are in a long term monogamous relationship.
- Are you afraid to commit because of some fear of family or commitment? Well, I know I have anxieties about marriage based on what I saw with my parents. But that's another story....
- Do you feel it is best to confuse your life by bringing a child into a relationship that may not continue? Uh, no.. why would you think that?
Are you using birth control for quality of life, health or financial reasons? quality of life
- Is your income so low you do not feel you could provide a child with a healthy quality of life? no
- Are you opposed to the idea of feeding a family with food stamps, WICK, or other government programs? no
- Would having a child interfere with your career or chosen lifestyle? no
- Do you have mental or physical health issues that lead you to believe you would be an unfit parent? no
- Are you (or your lover) on medications that require prescribed birth control? no
- Would you pass along a known genetic disorder if you were to reproduce? no
