Long term use of the pill

[ss_storm]

I'm 24, if that helps. So I've been on it, except for about 10-12 months or so, for say 5 years.
I wouldn't mind going off it, but I fear that I'm one of those women that other women hate who fall pg at the drop of a hat (well, drop of pants maybe..lol), and definitely don't want baby after baby after baby! I probably wouldn't trust myself to know when I'm 'ripe' and when it's safe, and DF wouldn't care either way..he refuses to use condoms so I dont know what else I can trust, especially for long term contraception, and I don't want it to be permanent (and have heard not so good things about the depo shot and mirena)

I'm inclined to stick with what I know works for me, but not if it's going to be bad for my health constantly taking it!

Ive had the Implanon implant (in my arm) and like it. It did cause some weight gain (that's what I blame anyway) but I didn't even get a period for the first 18 months or so. It doesn't suit everyone though.
