I'm a doctor and I chose the pill. It is much more effective, and it reduces risk of endometrial cancer. Condoms are so nasty, IMHO. After your kids are born, go for the vasectomy. It is HIS turn to take the birth control hit for once, and it is much safer of an operation than the tubal ligation. Don't choose the pill if you are a smoker, are very obese, or have a history of blood clots. Stop the pill around late 30s, it is less safe in older women. But the choice is yours, weigh the pros and cons for you as an individual. Your insurance may cover the pill, definitely won't cover condoms, LOL.

Most people once they're married use the pill. Condoms are the oldest form of birth control and were not very satisfactory way back when. If for some reason the wife can't take birth control pills or use one of the other hormonal methods (norplant, depo-provera or luna ring) or an IUD, a couple might opt for condoms.
Condoms are not super-effective in preventing pregnancy--my mom had five children. So sometimes I wonder why anyone would count on them for preventing sexually transmitted diseases. If your spouse is playing around these days it's very scary. You could get aids and not even know it.

Condoms. I generally hate them, but we found a good one that actually stays on. They're called Kimono. Can't take BC pills due to an allergy. Tried the IUD with horrible side effects. My man will likely get a vasectomy. It's easier, less painful, quicker, and literally is a 15 minute laser procedure these days. Makes MUCH more sense than a tubal ligation. They are entail major surgery.

I have been using the pill. I use the less hormonal version of Seasonale. it is called seasonique and it has less hormones but is just as effective. The great thing about this is that you only have a period once every season (3 months) and it still only lasts 5 days!

I don't use either because the pill is unnatural and potentially dangerous and condoms just don't feel right. I feel like condoms are for strangers/boyfriends, not husbands.
The only way that my husband and I prevent pregnancy is by using a basal thermometer and fluid checking(awareness).
