how old were you when you first started using contraception; what method did you start with, and where did you learn about it?
|
|
21,The first contraceptive we as a couple used was the condom.This was when i lost my virginity, as our relationship progressed i moved to the combined "Pill" after i had an allergic reaction to the "pill" my doctor arranged for me to have an iud fitted,this method we used for 4 years until my first pregnancy,and after that we had another iud {coil} fitted because of my medical condition i am epileptic,then 5 years later we had another pregnancy, after that we opted for permanent family planning and my husband had a vasectomy done.
