I’m becoming a grandpa at 43. Mildly infuriating, 'cause there are way worse things in life.

    yeah although your kid and their partner need to be more disciplined for that. Also there are fringe benefits to getting an iud. If I was a woman with the knowledge I have now I would get one in a heartbeat.

      They can also be a nightmare for some women putting their hormones out of whack and making their periods worse. Birth control sadly isn’t a one size fits all

        yeah which is why its great to try reversible things. Especially ones that can be controlled by the woman. condoms, when used, properly, can prevent pregnancy. I mean you want to stress to your kids to use them regarless because of disease but its good to have a backup. iuds also don’t have to be hormonal. again though as you said one size does not fit all so best to go through the options and not rely on one.
