    Depends - do you want to open up the discussion to the possibility of you getting pregnant if you aren't?


    Do you want your bf to be there if you find out you are pregnant?


    Obviously your boyfriend knows you are using the rhythm/natural method of contraception which is less reliable than other artificial methods, so he should be aware of the possibility of pregnancy.

    If I've remembered the correct thread (apologies if not), at the time of the Alton Towers incident you'd been together for about 8 weeks. Why on earth were you having unprotected sex at that stage of a relationship?
  • we have spoke about contraception and he knows that i use natural birth control - getting pregnant is not an issue, it was merely when i should tell him that i am late. we are both in our late 20s, both work, both independent from family etc that it will not be the end of the world if i were to be pregnant.
    i will not use artificial contraception and that is my choice as a woman, those who do good for them - i don't.

    Absolutely. I just hope you both had full STI checks before you made this choice, as unplanned pg isn't the only risk you're taking here.

    yes - we both did the test for STI and HIV together prior to having sex.

    You won't use artificial contraception, yet you use the MAP? What do you think that is then?
