I do both pills and condoms. Maybe its overkill, but I am not in the right place in my life to have a baby.
- Did expense weigh in on your decision?
Expense doesn't weight on my decision much, my birth control isn't that expensive....but regardless it would be less expensive than a baby.
- Does it work well with your lifestyle?
For the most part. The pill is never going to be easy to remember. I set my phone alarm so I remember to take it at the same time everyday.
- Did a physician recommend this method?
Yes
- How long have you used this method?
I was on the pill, then thought I'd try NuvaRing (bad idea)then went back to the pill. This has all been within the last two years.
Are you in a committed relationship? Yes
- Would your birth control choice change if you moved your relationship to another level?
I'd have to be married before I'd consider doing anything less.
-Are you using birth control for quality of life, health or financial reasons?
Al of the above. I don't graduate from college until May. I have a hard enough time paying my own bills and taking care of just me, let alone a baby.
- Is your income so low you do not feel you could provide a child with a healthy quality of life?
Yes.
- Are you opposed to the idea of feeding a family with food stamps, WICK, or other government programs?
That all depends on the situation, but I am not someone that deserves those programs.
- Would having a child interfere with your career or chosen lifestyle?
In the future it wouldn't, but right now yes. Again-graduating from college and trying to find a job in the next year would be hard with a baby around.
