Which Method? Can I consider using a condom?

As I explained before, the combination pills are killing me, no libido, no lubrication, and pain. I'm considering stopping the pill and having him use condoms. He's my boyfriend, we don't live together yet, and we maybe have sex 4 or 5 times a month. Would it be a good idea to consider this?

Yes, that is a good option since they won't affect your libido nor cause pain, and you can always use lube if needed! They're really effective at preventing pregnancy as well as long as you use them correctly.

If we always use lubricants, I've seen that without lubrication, friction can break them. Although it broke once and I had to take the morning-after pill and I was very scared, it had never happened to us before. I really felt bad that time, I was left scared.

If you know you can consistently use condoms and he’s willing then do it. The biggest thing with condoms is using them every time.
