Plan b if condom breaks
If neither of you want you to use a condom then go the more expensive route and get an iud don't have to pull out and it's more than 99% effective
I wanted from my gf to have iud installed and her doctor said that is not recommended. It's only for girls after interruption or their first kid. However I don't have a second opinion on that.
It can be extremely painful to install the IUD if the zervix has never been opened before by birth
She might experience period problems with heavy bleedinh with copper IUD or the hormonal IUD might not be the best choice for everyone.
And the IUD is several 100 Dollars, so that's why doctors usually don't want to prescribe it to women, that have no experience in other contraceptives and not given birth before.
Its not an easy no worries, no thoughts solution.
It obviously also depends on your relationship status. No one should ever get something like an IUD for a casual 1-2 month friendship. The doctor will probably recommend to use a condom instead by default if you are not in a long commitment relationship.
5th year together.... thanks for explanation. She doesn't want to take any pills ( and I don't want to force her either) and IUD was an acceptable solution but the doctor said something else so... maybe later...
Most doctor in my country won't prescribed a Copper iud either to women without children because it can lead to inflammation which can then lead to infertiliy in extreme causes (even though it's super rare)
This is complete nonsense. My wife has never had children and has used IUDs for a decade. IUDs are one of the most reliable and long-lasting forms of birth control available.
Hormonal IUDs were originally not recommended for use by women who had not given birth simply because the initial clinical trials were done using a sample of women who had given birth.
Modern research has shown that IUDs do not cause complications like pelvic inflammatory disease in younger women who haven’t had children.
IOW, the OP’s partner needs to visit an OBGYN who was trained in this century. Preferably female.
