"Kimmers - i'm sorry, but has uur husband never heard of condoms?"

Good grief, of course he has! And how many children do you know whose parents were using condoms? Or foam? Or even the pill? No birth control method is 100% effective, except abstinence or a properly performed surgical sterilization. I have several babies in my practice who were conceived on birth control pills.

And my husband is a wise man who knows that decisions about contraception are mine to make, not his. He is a dear man who wants me to be his soulmate, not his brood mare. On that day I ask him to go see a nice doctor and have a little band-aid surgery, he will give his consent with all his heart. I'm just not ready to ask that of him yet.
