Mucus Method

I have always been successful at avoiding pregnancy, even during my younger days of not-so-safe-sex - I've never even had a late period as a scare. My success was mostly coincidental. I had tried the pill several times but hormonal methods really don't work well with me. I don't like to use condoms because I consistently lose my arousal when I have to stop and put one on, and even if we take some time to get me back up to readiness, for some reason the use of a condom corrolates to no-orgasm for me during sex. However, sex without a condom has a SIGNIFICANTLY higher percentage of orgasm during sex. Plus, now that I prefer to exchange test results with my partners (and a couple other safety rules), and I'm aware that some STDs are not prevented by condom use anyway, I don't tend to view condoms as my most effective STD prevention option. I'm susceptible to Toxic Shock Syndrom, so the insertable methods aren't an option, and the newer birth control methods have come after many years of being comfortable with my current method, so it makes it difficult to want to change ... especially when my method is free and the others aren't (no medical insurance here!).

Historically I used the rhythm method (sometimes in addition to the pill or condoms), even though my cycle is irregular. My cycle is irregular in that the number of days between the start of each period is completely random, so the rhythm method really isn't a safe method for me to use. However, the Mucus Method is much more reliable. My cycle is irregular, but my *mucus* is not, and that has been my saving grace all this time.
