So I've (36M) been with my girlfriend (32F) for about a year, and she had an implant to regulate her periods and for Birth Control. She recently removed this as it passed its effective stage and she wants to "detox" her body…

We both got tested early in the relationship for STIs and both clear so although we used condoms for the first few times, for the past year we have not needed any protection.

Here's the problem- I’m happy to start using condoms but she is not as she doesn't like how they feel. She used a coil in the past and didnt like that either, and she doesn't want to take the Pill due to this detox she wants to do. Diaphragm or Cap seems like too much of a pain to use long term.

I dont want a vasectomy as we want to start trying for a baby next year, so does that just leave monitoring her menstrual cycle to avoid sex when she is most fertile? Any other decent options?
