BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Switching from the Pill to Mirena IUD

Yep. The wife has it and the baby factory is closed while the playpen is still open !!!
Your choice. Don't mean to be glib and trite about such a serious emotional issue..
But hey, us guys are designed to solve the problem when most women just want you to listen and not solve.
Like cream pie said, "Just sayin' " it is an option.

I am trying to weigh ALL options right now -- which it seems that barrier methods, tubal, or vasectomy is all that's left. I don't think my husband is ready for the permanent solution yet, and I don't know that I am either. Being 31 yrs old, I still have time to change my mind about having kids, but at the same time I know I'm reaching the end of my best years to do it.

I think that we'll have to stick with barrier methods now, as I don't how the IUD thing will work out. A woman on another CF forum suggested fertility monitoring as a alternative. I am thinking that I could trying doing this in combination with barrier methods based on where I am in my cycle, but it takes months to "get it right" with the monitoring part of it. I have enough confidence that I can responsibly use these methods, as I have went years with a perfect track record on bc usage. Maybe after a year or so of doing this, it might be that we get fed up with the barriers and decide on sterilization.
