Wibu to think I'm unlikely to get pregnant?

[ramenbomb]

I've been having some gynae issues recently and so have had to have my contraception removed for now.

Until we figure out what's going on with me, dp and I are left with few other options which basically boil down to condoms. This is fine for now but I don't really want to rely on them long term and given the issues I've been having I'm less than keen to go back to what I was using.

I want to do the responsible thing but I'm curious as to how likely a pregnancy would/could be for us anyway? Dp has fertility issues and we are both late 30's so age is a factor too, but the doctor who removed my contraception said I am likely still quite fertile even now. Realistically, with one partner having fertility issues and both in their mid/late 30's what are the chances we need more reliable contraception? It's not something I've had to think about for a long time so I'm curious to hear others' experiences. TIA

Less likely, but it only takes one sperm. Is vasectomy an option?

Unless an accident would be a happy occurrence you can't rely on fertility issues stopping you getting pregnant.

It took us 18 months ttc DD and second time round we conceived 3 cycles in a row (2 MC's) so you just never know how the sperm and egg is going to behave.

If you are using condoms properly then it is very unlikely that you will get pregnant.

@SGChome20 I don't want to rely on it as I think that would be a bit irresponsible but I'm just wondering how likely it is given the contributing factors. 😆

We are using condoms correctly but, tbh, I really hate them as I find them massively mood killing. Dp is still happy to use them though so it's fine for now but I don't really want them in the long term.

I don't really want to ask Dp to get the snip because it's really me that doesn't want to get pregnant. He tried for years with a previous partner with no luck. He doesn't have any dcs yet and would probably be quite happy if I got pregnant I am just undecided at this point so I don't think it's fair to impose that on him.
