ok, well I itch and burn after condoms, but it looks like DH and I will be relying more on them from now on than the pill/minipill. I had an IUD and that stuffed me around too much, Depo was the same.....the only thing we can really do is timing and condoms. Tho we both HATE them and I pay for it for days after. Having said that.....they are not 100%. My older sister uses them religously with her DP. After planning the first one, they used condoms as contraception as they wanted a few years (pref 3-4yrs) between children. Well along comes Mahli, thanks to a hole in the condom or something similar *L*. They love him to bits, but that proves they don't always work....
