So, male birth control is a step closer to becoming a reality... until symptoms start to kick in.

An injection of progestin and a synthetic form of testosterone stopped pregnancy in 96% of female partners, the four-year worldwide study of 320 men in monogamous heterosexual relationships found.

Almost 75% of male participants reported being willing to use this method of contraception at the conclusion of the study.

But an independent committee stopped the trial for "safety reasons" after 20 participants dropped out of the study due to side effects. Six men left due to changes in mood; six for acne, pain, or "panic" at first injections, palpitations, hypertension, or erectile dysfunction; and eight for more than one symptom.
