I've never been comfortable with the fact that chemical birth controls, like the shot, pill, patch, etc. regulated my body so rigidly. And all the side effects, and possible side effects. I have always used condoms, abstinence, or if I'm with a partner I love and trust, he pulls out before ejaculating. But that last is dicey, and really have to trust and know the other person. Condoms have always worked for me.
