3. Continue to use condoms
Started using hormonal birth control methods or long term it can help prevent pregnancy but either you or spouse can still become infected. So do not ever stop using a condom just because you start using birth control.
No matter you are faithful to one partner, and both have undergone tests to ensure you are both free from STI, still use a condom.
4. Do not stop taking the birth control method without talking to your doctor or prepare a backup plan
This condition was originally intended for women who use condoms and birth control pills then gradually stop using condoms and the pill at the same time. To avoid insecurity and frustration when having sex then ask your doctor when it is appropriate to start the new method if it turns out that the old methods do not really like.
If you have questions or concerns about the old methods and intend to stop, immediately ask your doctor as well.
Moreover, a variety of side effects due to mutually methods of birth control can still be controlled or disappear by itself. It could also find an easier method of use or fewer side effects.
Most importantly when you stop the birth control method, and immediately use condoms every time you have sex to prevent pregnancy until you find a better method.
