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

    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.
