So what’s everyone’s plan on avoiding pregnancy?

Assuming we agree with the majority view that vasectomy and ligation are haram, we’re only left with a few reliable options.

Calendar method/withdrawal are unreliable. Condom is better but still has quite a chance to cause pregnancy. That leaves us with implants, IUDs, patches, and pills.

Of course, Qadr transcends all plans but what would you do to minimize the chance of ever getting pregnant?

And specifically for women, how comfortable are you with taking these contraceptives? I am a man and I’ve heard some horror things about the possible side effects.
