My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 years now. In this time I used an IUD as contraceptive and no condoms (Yeah I know STDs, but we were both dumb virgins eight years ago).

We talked marriage and kids and are on the same page: Yes, both of those in the next couple of years tops.

Now the thing is my IUD is due to be removed next spring and I don’t want to use hormonal contraceptives anymore. We are not sure if we want to actively start trying by then, but we agree that it would be okay if I happened to get pregnant.

I don’t want medical advice on how safe condoms are as contraceptive and how to use them right (and how it was kinda risky not to use them until now STD wise).

I want to hear your experience with using condoms only: How do you feel after quitting hormonal contraceptives? Or maybe: What’s annoying about condoms? Stuff like that!
