My boyfriend doesn't want me to get birth control, what should I do?

So it all begins 2 months ago when i got a tarot card reading. the Wiccan told me that she sees me getting pregnant next year and If i did get pregnant all of my current accomplishments would have been for nothing so i been considering birth control and have talked to my boyfriend about it and he doesn't want me to get on it due to the long term effects but i peraonally am undecided whether i should listen to my boyfriend or take the Wiccans advise and take care of myself. whom should i listen to? & should i even believe what the Wiccan has told me?

  • I doubt that the tarot reading really means anything. However, if preventing a pregnancy is important at this point in your life, you should absolutely be taking every possible precaution. Whether or not you put any stock in what the fortune teller said to you, it's still important that you use contraceptives carefully in order to avoid a pregnancy. Barrier methods such as condoms can be fairly effective, but the safest thing you can do is use both a barrier method and a hormonal method at the same time.

    If you want to go on hormonal birth control, you should do so- it's your body and it's completely up to you. It's nice that your boyfriend is concerned about your health, but he doesn't really have any say in the matter. You should discuss it with your doctor and make the best decision for yourself.

  • Do you want to get pregnant?
    If you do, then don't go on birth control. If you don't, go on birth control. In the end, having and raising a child is a two-person job. It's not like he'd be the one having to be pregnant and experience everything that comes with pregnancy/labour, such as the pain, discomfort, as well as all the maternal things that will late make you feel obligated to stick with this child. Which your boyfriend will of course be exempt from.

    You can believe the Wiccan as much as you wish but either way, having unprotected sex makes everyone have a chance of falling pregnant. So make your decision based on whatever will stack the odds more in favour of getting pregnant/not pregnant. Whichever one you want for your future should be the deciding factor at this point.

  • I don't know about some luantic telling you your fortune, but take care of yourself. Weigh the consequences of having a baby. A kid cost at least $18,000 a year on average. Can you afford that and still live comfortably? What about your own wants and needs? Those will be out the window if you have a kid. At least for 18 years they will unless you're rich and can afford full time child care.
    If you can't say for certain, that you could afford this and still be happy and content with having to put your own goals on hold, then get some type of birth control

  • I say, do what YOU think you need to and want to do. It is your body and you are the one who will be putting everything on hold while you deal with the pregnancy and have the baby.
    Whether the Wiccan is right or not, you still should be on BC, assuming you are sexual with your boyfriend.
    As for long term effect? Millions of women are on some form of birth control and very few have any problem with it.
    When you are ready to settle down and have a family, then get off the BC.
    Good luck.

    • Thanks for the MHO. Good luck with everything

  • If you dont want to get pregnant, go to a doctor and speak that you want to take a birth control pill, and he give you the most appropriate for you. Dont live in function of what others say, you decide your live and which way you wanna go.

    Live your life freely

  • So sister, do you think that the long term effects of having a baby and being a single parent are less than taking birth control?

    Don't listen to anyone but yourself! And for your long term well being, you know exactly what to do.

    • "So sister, do you think that the long term effects of having a baby and being a single parent are less than taking birth control? " Sooo much THIS! It's like girls who say "I don't want BC because I'll get fat." As if getting pregnant is going to leave you with a tiny tight body...

    • @MrOracle Agree with you completely.

  • Take your Own... Doctor's Advice. Find the Right "The Pill" that's Right for you, dear.
    I am Not sure if he is Using Protection, but Someone, hun, had Better.
    Good luck. xx

  • You should take care of yourself regardless what your boyfriend or a tarot card says. You should of already been taking preventative and protective measures when you started to become sexually active.

  • Get the shot instead. It lasts for longer and you don't have to worry about taking it everyday at the same time.

  • Um. Its your body.
    Do what YOU want.

  • I don't believe in fortune telling or whatever but it's super important to have protected sex if you're not prepared for a baby. It's also your choice whether or not you take birth control and your partner shouldn't be able to tell you not to. I would personally recommend that you have protected sex until you decide you want a child.

  • Well if you are having sex without using birth control there is a good chance you could become pregnant. Talk to your doctor. I personally think you should be on it because it saves a lot of stress. You can talk to the doctor about the long term effects but your boyfriend doesn't have the say in what You do with your body ultimately.

  • I think it's a good idea for everyone who is sexually active to be on birth control.

    You don't need a "magical" lunatic to tell you that.

  • You do not want kids right now so go on birth control at the end of the day it is your body he either lives with it or move on.

  • first off, that charletan saw you coming. secondly if he is willing to wear condoms then it is better for you longterm health.

  • Simply tell him it''s not for him to make that decision. Period.

  • Don't believe everything you hear, and if you dont want a baby go on birth control its your body he cannot dictate what you can and cannot do

  • "congrats! you gave a birth to a tarot card" lol

  • Do whatever you think is right for you. He shouldn't control your entire life just for something he wants

  • Your greatest achievement might be your child not what you might have done so far but choice is yours whether you want the risk

  • Do what is best for you. He's not looking out for your ultimate well being.

  • Do you what YOU want. Only YOU can do with your body what you want
