What are some non-hormonal birth control options besides abstinence?

Question

And besides the condom, I know that one, obviously.

Thanks

Answer 1

Diaphram and intra-uterine device (IUD) are pretty common among women. A diaphram is a sort of condom for women, ad it is some kind of item placed inside your vagina to prevent pregnancy. An IUD is something that prevents transplantation of the fertilized egg, so ny fetus can develop. Check with your gyno for more information or how to get them installed. However, let me warn you upfront about their quality: my sister had both of her children while on different forms of nonhormonal birth control.


You can also try to abstain from intercourse during your ovulation period, which occurs about two weeks before your regular period. This is the time when your chances to get pregnant are highest. I hope that this helped and good luck!

Answer 2

There are many options:

Condoms
There is the IUD
There is also a female condom for women,

There are many forms but some are more effective then others.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

some iuds, diaphram, today's sponge, pull and pray, family planning (ie; timing around ovulation) today sponge is available without a prescription, but i don't reccomend it unless your cervix is very easy to get too.

Answer 4

I don't think there are any....unless you want to try just avoiding sex around ovulation. well there is the IUD

Answer 5

there are other barrier methods that a woman can use.
