I know a few couples that use both condoms and birth control (pills, shots, or iud) because of having just the birth control (pills, shot, or iud) fail in the past so they go for the extra protection from the condom, but still take the birth control.
I personally have no desire to go back on birth control pills because I was starting to have problems with them before I had my tubal ligation (that’s actually most of the reason I had my tubal). I tried the shot after I had my son and I didn’t do well on it. Since we don’t want to wait a long time in between children, I don’t think I’ll get an IUD either. So we’ll either use condoms or try natural family planning. Once we are done having children, my husband said he would get a vasectomy so I don’t have to have another tubal.
