I'm surprised that I'm the only one using a diaphragm...
I lived in a studio apartment at the time I was fitted for mine, so had no room to store it.
LOL! Now I'm paranoid mine is too small...they gave me the smallest size and that thing is huge. Dh and I started at it awhile like hmmm that goes where?!?!?

We pull and pray. 7 years ago I had to stop taking the pill because it gave me lesions on my liver. We used condoms for 3 ish years and then said fuck this noise, we're married and want kids eventually an oopsie baby is better than these things. We have managed to avoid an oopsie baby for 4 years so far, but as time as gone by we have begun playing it more fast and loose and there is an occasional forgetting to pull if it's really early or really late in my cycle.
I think I've used a condom less than 10 times. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclin since I was 17. My H has had a vasectomy, so I haven't used anything since I was 26.
ETA: Eh...more than 10. I was forgetting about a few guys. LOL.
In regards to IBS, IBS in itself does not mess with the pill. However, obviously the pill needs to absorb into your system. If you vomit or have diarrhea within about three hours of taking your pill, your protection can be considered compromised. My IBS goes through bouts that are so severe that I can't reliably keep my system under control for that window. Hence, condoms.
Do you "double up" until the next pill cycle? I was really sick the last week of the last pack, so we're being careful this cycle.
