 Why would you subject yourself to hormonal birth control when all he has to do is give a semen sample and have someone check it for sperm? That makes no sense!

Nikkig is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you for your replies...we have both been and had all sti tests together and everything came back negative before that we both used protection and have booked an appointment with doctors to go on birth control

 he said he is infertile... did he HAVE a vasectomy or is he basing this on the fact that he's had unprotected sex and does not believe he has ever impregnated another woman...
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were infertile together but not with others....

 Never assume anything, especially if you don't want to get "caught". Go to your nearest family planning clinic together (you're in the UK, it's free) and get this sorted out (STD checks as well). This is not something to be lazy about.

Don't assume. Unless you want to be called "Mum" he has to wear a condom until you start birth control, if you want to try hormonal birth control.
This is so very easy to check, why would he put you at risk?
Tell him to wear the little raincoat until he has it confirmed.
Obviously, YOU have to be your best health advocate, as he's not really holding up his end.

 Why on earth would he pay for a vasectomy and not go back to make sure it was effective?

until he has the test for fertility assume he is fertile
has he presented you with recent blood work? I usually would request at the start of sexual activity and again 6 months later... once in a monogamous trusting relationship with two negative blood works behind you, condoms can be done with.
clearly since you mentioned you are not pregnant you are not using birth control which means you are not using condoms which means while he may be infertile he may have STDs
when my hubby and I started dating we both gave current blood work and then at 6 months we went and did it again
UNTIL we were married our doctor would not drop the STD testing from our blood work orders.

 Nope, it is NEVER safe to assume anything like that, keep using condoms til he go gets tested. HE can "think" he is infertile all he wants. After all if it turns out he isn't, HE isn't the one who gets knocked up.
You two have only been together for 6 months, so you two having sex at the right time may JUST not have occurred.
IF you do NOT want a child/pregnancy then be smart.
Also, CONDOMS do prevent STD's as WELL as pregnancy. IT IS the smart thing to use them til you have BOTH been tested for STD's if you BOTH had prior partners.
