I will not use hormonal birth control anymore due to the side effects and overall bad health that hormones cause. The Fertility Awareness Method, where you track your basal temperature, cervical mucus, and cervical position has been shown to have nearly the same effectiveness rate as the pill at about 99.3%. My husband does not trust it. How do I convince him that it is okay?We are fully prepared to take care of a child if that were to happen, but aren't actively trying to conceive for another year or so.We're using condoms now. I find them to be irritating and drying.By the way, "timing and withdrawal" isn't even a contraceptive method. Checking the body for signs of fertility has been shown again and again to be reliable.
