Contraception?

[Flutterby]

Before I go into it, this is not an "oh shit i might be pregnant" thread.

I was on the combined pill since January and me and my boyfriend used condoms. With me being allergic to latex we have to use the polyutherane ones and I find they snap pretty easy but that was fine because we had the pill as well. Last week I started taking migranes and my GP took me off the pill and said he'd give me a different pill (mini pill?) next month when he's 100% sure that the combined pill caused the migranes but what am i supposed to do for a month? If I told my bf no sex til it's fixed he'd be fine with it but I don't want to, i like being intimite with him. Anyone got any suggestions for an alternate contraceptive we could use with condoms?

No. Unless you are going to go on deprovera or norra plant injection, you need to stay off of sex until you are on a successful birth control plan. If the condoms you are using are facing a 50% chance of breaking, is that worth the rest of your life just because you wanted to be "intimate" for a few minutes?

There are other forms - female condom, "The Sponge", vaginal contraceptive strips, spermicide lubes....but it is all a gamble. The absolute best birth control other than surgery for you right now is those pills, so I would listen to your doctor if I were you.

[shh!]

You might ask about an I.U.D. or a diaphragm, or best of all, a vasectomy for your guy.
