Does Anyone Know of a Non-hormonal Bc, Besides Condoms? Posted: 10-09-07 14:24pm
My doctor says I cant be on any kind of
hormonal bc. The side effects are to much
for my body. Are there any other methods
I could try? I know condoms and not
having sex at all is a way but what are
the others? Is there really an IUD thats
not hormonal?

Yes. There is a non hormonal IUD. There
are also spermicides you can use in
conjunction with a cervical cap or a
diaphragm (both these are recommended for
monogamous couples since you can still get
stds without using a condom).

never though about that, thank you. Wow
there are a few things I can choose from
then. I just have to see what works for
me.
Do spermicides have hormones in it that
could affect my estrogen?

I don't believe they do. I am allergic to
spermicides. And I cannot use hormones
either.
Your doctor will know all your options.
Good luck!

The IUD is going to honestly be your best
bet.
It is WAY more effective than condoms, and
way more effective than spermicides.
It is as effective as having a tubal
ligation, but it is reversible.
