So... choose a contraceptive methods.
Apart from all the pros & cons, a simple calculation may help.
- Contraceptive implant (http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Implanon-The-Contraceptive-Implant.htm) - RM650 for 3 years, i.e. RM0.59 per day.
- If you opt for pills, take the average cost of RM43 for 21 days (1 mth cycle)(some good pills cost up to RM100 a month), then it'll cost you about RM1,548 for 3 years, i.e. RM1.41 per day.
- Condom. There are expensive & cheap ones. Says RM15 for 10... well, it depends on how active you & your partner are (*Wink wink*). To match the implant cost, you can only be active in every 2.5 days (hmmm, I think this is sufficient).
- Biological planning i.e. count your days. Costless. But the possible cost incurred due to the consequence of unsafe activity is RM1mil (study said that's the cost to raise a kid)! This does not even taken into account the childbirth, medical, college fees, as well as opportunity costs. Go risk your whole life of physical, mental & financial freedom.
However, contraceptive implant is not that great afterall. The side effect of irregular & prolong period is irritating. But just that.
My verdict?
Anything. But do ask the men to contribute something-lah ($$). Yeah.
