Should a couple who aren’t ready for kids, but know she can never get pregnant without IVF still use protection?

Question

Accepted Answer

I would still say yes. One, to prevent STD’s and two, because a lot of people have been told this and have still ended up pregnant.

Answer

I have heard soooo many times people say “I couldn’t have kids” and she’s pregnant. Or the male, same. So if you’re not ready, use protection, unless you are 100% sure you can’t, like the male has had both testes removed.

Answer

Ahh. .
I can't have kids, well I can but its extremely difficult for me to get pregnant and I'm a high risk for miscarriage. I don't and wont use protection 🤷🏼‍♀️ If it happens AMAZING, if I carry it full term DOUBLE AMAZING 😍 But, unfortunately that's my reality in 8 years 3 pregnancies only one baby. 
**I'm married, been married very committed** 
For someone else, not my uterus, not my sex life not my problem. I literally dont care who does do what, when, where and how as long as it's not directly effecting me or my child.

Answer

If I knew back when I was on birth control that it was highly unlikely for me to conceive naturally I would have never stayed on any birth control. When I found out my husband and I had been using protection for 10 years for literally no reason I honestly felt stupid. My whole life I was told it was so easy to get pregnant and to be careful so I was. So no. I wouldn’t

Answer

Yes. It helps protect against diseases. Just because it’s what a doctor says, doesn’t mean it’s 100% the truth. It’s just they will have a harder time getting pregnant without IVF. Not that they can’t. 
The only time someone couldn’t get pregnant is if they don’t have a uterus to impregnate.

Answer

As far as condoms go, I usually always stick with yes use condoms just for sexual health purposes. But if not don’t be surprised or complain if stuff happens 🤷🏻‍♀️😬
Birth control, if the person taking it wants to sure. Idc, but I can understand if they don’t want to. B/c sucks for some people. 
I usually like to stick with the “smartest advice” and that would be to use protection. But if not, again expect the unexpected 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

Answer

If she's had her uterus removed then additional birth control is not necessary. In most other cases, I think there's still a need for it.

Answer

If the relationship is monogamous and both parties have been tested for STDs and STIs I still think they should use at the very least withdrawal, unless they're in a situation where they could handle a pregnancy if one arose. The reason I say that is because I've been told since I was 10 years old it was "highly unlikely" that I would ever conceive without the help of a fertility specialist, yet here I am, 14 weeks pregnant, only 5 months after my depo shot wore off and only 6 months after talking to my doctor about TTC naturally.

Answer

Yes, because there are CONSTANTLY people who claim they can’t get pregnant, getting pregnant. Many people assume they can’t for one reason or another, and it ends in unwanted pregnancy.

Answer

Yes. Even considering the couple isn't having sexual relationships with anyone else but each other therefore no risks of STIs, how many times have you heard someone with a baby on their lap saying "I thought I couldn't have babies"? Lol
