kath, aside from the barrier methods mentioned below there is another method called hormonal birth control methods.hormonal devices appear in the form of an implant, patch, pill or shot.

And these hormonal devices are designed to prevent the woman's ovaries from releasing an egg monthly, cause the cervical mucus to thicken so the sperm will have a difficult time penetrating the egg.

if I use these hormonal devices will I be safe from other diseases like STD?

i have the same question with yuri because im thinking of using any of these hormonal methods...how safe is it to use these hormonal devices?

some experts believe that they are very effective but they cannot protect you from sexually transmitted diseases or STD's.

with regards the use of birth control pills, you can acquire these pills from your health provider.it's kinda easy to get it and is inexpensive..

is there hormonal device that will last longer?i mean it's kinda hassle taking the pill everyday and i might forget taking it..thanks..but of course something that is affordable..

Depo-Provera is an injection that costs a little bit more than the pill and can prevent pregnancy for 3 months.

there is another one which is called nuva ring or vaginal ring. it is a flexible ring that is inserted into the vagina for three weeks before this is removed and replaced with a new one.

try patches. it's very convenient and way cheaper than any other methods.

female or male condom. affordable for every one and very convenient.

mirena or IUD is also a good choice but it always depends individually. nuva ring so far has less negative side effects. the choice is yours to make.
