    Look into the copper IUD. No hormones and it is quite effective.

    I was being facetious about the abortion clinic... Although there really is one around the corner. ;)

    The issue is that we both don't really like condoms much and have to order special vegan condoms online, so it's a hassle.

    Also, if a condom breaks, i could get pregnant.

    And as for my periods -- they're a normal length now, just a bit heavier. I think my doctor was just too quick to put a 12 year-old kid on BCP. She's a med pusher. I think the long periods at 12 was just my body getting used to the idea of menstration.

    I've just relied on the pull out method for 12 years now. Been pregnant once and that's when the guy came inside me. Although 50-75% of the time the guy has cum inside my arse. Otherwise pull-out works fine.

    I'm on mirena, not paraguard (copper IUD), so I had cessation of periods, but the freedom of an IUD over condoms is amazing.

    I was hesitant on the progesterone, but after researching, and having my real hormone levels checked, but it works for me. No more anemia, no more cramps. No pregnancy. No worries about breakage.

    For me, heavier periods was off the table.
    If it isn't a deal breaker for you, do investigate the paraguard.

    Before the IUD, I used fertility awareness and condoms.
    We had two scares and one miscarriage over 14 years.
