I had a few issues with the pill, so DH was understanding when I told him I was going off it. He was very, very good about using condoms after that too, as at the time we (more him than me!) weren't ready for kids.
If you want to give your body a break from the pill - go for it.
It's a fair call to give your body a break, especially in the light of any potential problems with your plumbing.
Maybe remind him that HE also can take responsibility for contraception too?
I'll never go back on the pill, its a pain in the butt and makes lots of us go crazy. Hey you might even uncover a libido you never knew you had.....tell him that too
The sex drive thing has always been an issue - it's a catch 22 isn't it? I'll have a higher sex drive but he'll have to use annoying condoms (which I don't care much for either).
Has anyone seen improvement in the symptoms of endo and not being on the pill?
Hun, the pill screwed me sideways - in more ways than one! There is no way I will ever pump that chemical crap into me ever again. DH completely understands and does not want me on it. Do some googling as to what it does to you.
Then our second prob - I am allergic to latex! So we have to buy the latex free condoms. They are onto version 2 now - which arent as good feeling as the first ones - but, they feel soooooo much more natural than the regular type. Unfortunately they are also more exxy.
They are called Durex Avanti (i think - we havent needed them for a while!!)
I am happy to use them if it means I can get back to regular hormones and functioning again. After being told that my pill is doing more damage than good in my case I am more sure than ever that I don't want to be on it anymore.
But DH will fight me tooth and nail about having to use condoms. I can deal with a few days of crabbiness and I know in the end he will understand - but I don't want to take away any pleasure from him either.
