I'd far prefer this to my wife taking BC pills. I view a change in my body chemistry as far less important than a change in hers. After all, there have to be SOME long-term side-effects to BC pills that unnaturally flood her system with estrogen. Since she's going to be the one carrying our child for 9 months, her body needs to remain free from buildups of chemicals that could come with the use of any sort of long-term medication. Especially ones that mess with reproduction.
My body, on the other hand, can be exposed to drugs screwing with it's makeup. I can probably repair the worst of whatever side-effects might occur with diet and exercise if necessary. Plus, I don't have to incubate anything important.
Maybe I'd freeze some sperm before going "on the pill", just in case.
I'd definitely make my boyfriend take it, as well as continue to take the pill myself.
My best friend recently had an abortion because she got pregnant despite being on the pill and not once missing it or taking it late (cell phone alarm so she takes it the same time every night never fail).
I insist on using at least 2 forms of birth control (and preferably 3 including pulling out if you consider that a form of BC) and it would be nice for that to be a pill or shot rather than a condom, providing that both parties do not have STDs and are in a committed, monogamous relationship.
Oh Male BC pill! I was all excited before I reread topic, which I thought was about Male BS pill. Thought medicine had finally found a way to cut through all that crap with "just one little pill" (sorry guys-I couldn't resist, I still love ya)
I would trust my fiance to take the pill or shot as required. I do find it interesting how the question is placed about trusting the guy and do believe that a lot of women would not trust the guy to do so, however for years men have been having to trust women to be truthful about taking their pills and far too many women have tricked guys into parenthood by purposely missing doses. I think that men would be less apt to lie about taking the pill than women would. In their minds, they got far more to lose than the woman does should she decide to then keep that baby, while the woman remains with options in most cases.
