Babies are so cute, but we need to control the existence of exra babies, sometimes.
So... choose a contraceptive method.

Apart from all the pros & cons, a simple calculation may help.

1. Contraceptive implant (http://www.patient.co.uk/health/Implanon-The-Contraceptive-Implant.htm) - RM650 for 3 years, i.e. RM0.59 per day.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
