Best Spur Of The Moment Contraceptive besides condoms?

[tempest2003]

what are some of the better contraceptives that one can use for unprotected sex? besides the morning after pill. my girl has tried manny diffrent kinds of birth control but they mess with her hormones and she thinks it messes up her head too much, so were kinda looking for options, any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!

take it how you want but imho, abstinence.

What exactly has she tried? There are non-hormonal methods like a diaphram and an IUD.

not very spur of the moment, but as anya mentioned, there are the implants...

there's also a female condom, but i don't know anything about that (whether it's mass marketed or if you need a prescription to get it)...

there's the unreliable rythym method (don't have sex when she's most fertile, which isn't as easy to predict, but ovulation predictors that people use to get pregnant might help reduce the odds)...

either way, the best method of not getting pregnant is abstinence, after that everything else has it's risks...

i hated the pill too, so i can see where she's coming from... when i was on it i did find a low dosage one that i tolerated well... it was called aleese i think... very mild, didn't make me a hormonal mess (well, no more than usual)... maybe discuss her concerns with her doctor and see if they can come up with a better option...

I hear the sponge is back on the market - you don't need a prescription for it, which is nice.

No offense but how hard is it to remember to put a condom on??

gimme a "V"
gimme an "A"
gimme an "S"
etc. etc.

....the ball is always in your court.

You know what they call people who practice the rythym method...

Honestly, if my girlfriend were not on the pill, I wouldn't risk it. Use a condom. Yes they suck, and they get too tight around the base sometimes (ouch, can leave a ring of raw red skin... my number one complaint), etc, but it beats either not having sex, or an unwanted pregancy.

Copper IUD is non-hormonal. But it can be pricey. There are other IUDs that deliver small doses of hormones too. She should talk to her DR.

Sponge is a good idea. Diaphragm is also non-hormonal (as previously mentioned.) But neither of these are "spur of the moment" - they need insertion and there is a limit as to how long they can stay in the body.

But condoms are the only ones that prevent disease too....and they are easier to carry around than sponges and diaphragms.
