Translation: I've always had it and it feels weird not to, smart alec! Or course, according to the well-known Gwyned theories of fertility, I'm not likely to have to worry too much about it...
OP, if you and your girlfriend are in a committed relationship and you trust her to take her pill everyday, I'd say tell your girlfriend to go with the birth control pill on the lowest amount of estrogen possible. I use lutera. It works great and hasn't affect my sex drive at all (and the low dose of hormones won't make you want to kill yourself haha...ugh).
Are you serious? All my IUDs used to be inserted overseas, but I've been thinking of getting one again, here. So what if I don't have children...? I've no plans to have children, either.
Inserting them is painful, though, particularly the first one. I was in agonizing pain for at least 4 hours and was thinking of going back and having it taken out. Went to a friend's house 'cause my Mom didn't know about it. Then it settles, though, and you have peace of mind for years! It's totally worth it! The Copper T that is - I'm not gonna mess with hormones.
Well, if you have already had one then they may likely do it for you. I know of rare cases in which childless women were able to receive them, because they could not use other methods for whatever health reasons.
No side effects for me. The only problem at the moment with it is that my husband can feel the threads. I have an appointment to see if they can shorten them.

I was thinking about looking into a low dose hormone pill. What are, if any, side effects you have experienced?

Great. Thanks! I'm getting inspired with all the input about it. I will do more research and who knows, maybe no more pull-outs for us.

Eh, my girlfriend got pregnant at the age of 41 after one time. Sorry girl, still gotta worry about it for a long time.
I haven't read all the pages and pages of responses.
I was on BCPs for 20+ years with absolutely no problems. I was very responsible about taking them at the same time every day because I absolutely NEVER wanted to get pregnant. My ex-bf was paranoid and always used a condom in addition to the pills.
By the time I met my now husband, he was more than ready to make sure we never had to worry and he had a vasectomy.
