They use all the same methods everybody else does. We used early withdrawal or condoms.

In those days people use to adopt different methods. 1 is to silently/ secretly  deliver a child. 2. Having safe sex in between periods. 3. using native herbs and fruits like pappaya which dissolve the pregnancy. 4. applying kerosene and other chemicals in the ladies area which kill the sperm . 5. Ejauculation done externally. etc, etc.

I have tried the Nuva ring. I was on it for over a year. It was better for me because I put it in and it was nice to know that I wouldn't have to worry about it for 3 weeks til I took it out to have my period.I loved it. It's easy to put in. It never came out. Never!!! not even during sex or sitting on the toilet or anything. It even shortened my periods from 5days to about 3days. It is low level hormones. I would go back on it in a heartbeat but I changed jobs and my new insurance doesn't cover it and at like $40 a pop I decided to go back to the pill which my insurance does cover.

Don't do it.  There are a lot of women even on here that you can verify are having a lot of problems with it.  You may be creating an irreverseible problem.\n\nDepo Provera is akin to forcing your body into an early menopause state.\n\nI've been off the Depo Provera since 2000 and my hair and my eyebrows still haven't grown all the way back. I lost about a 1/4 inch along most of my front hair line. The rest of my hair came back and is thick and strong, but the hairline is not the same compared to what it was. In addition to the severe hair loss, I gained over 40 pounds, 20 while taking Depo and 20 after coming off. I never had a migraine before Depo and during use and for the first year after being off it, I had severe migraines at least once a week. My skin itched like I wanted to rip it off and I was hot all the time. I would get extreme vertigo with no warning. Just try staggering at work or while in the pharmacy and not look like you had a drinking problem! My bones also ached a lot. Depo has been proven to cause osteoporosis. Over a year after coming off the Depo Provera, I developed two serious blood clots one after the other. The cause was never completely determined because I had not been on birth control of any kind for over a year and my blood tests were normal. I finally had a rib removed and the clots stopped, but I will contend to this day the Depo had at least a little something to do with it. About the same time as the blood clots, I started having severe cramping and a year into it, my doctor found pretty severe endometriosis. With the resulting depression and the lack of sex from Depo you may not have to worry about getting pregnant because you won't want to have sex anyway. I know some people do just fine with this birth control, but it's not worth the chance. It takes upwards of 6 to 8 months for the effects to wear off and sometimes longer. My hair has never grown completely back along the hairline and I am having a hair transplant at a tune of $5,000.00 to fix it.  I had to have my eyebrows tattooed because they will not fill back in!   I am only 35! I can't wait until Depo is researched more deeply and to someday find out what else this drug did to screw up my system. \n\nI got the (copper) IUD (since I can't use hormones anymore due to future clotting risks). My insurance paid for it. You still get your period, but it's worth it.\n\nOur bodies are made to have periods unless we are pregnant. If you force your body into an unnatural state, it WILL fight back!

I did the depo for 5 years and that never happened to me. But then again, I also became pregnant while on the depo shot too. I began it in 98' after my 1st child and found out I was pregnant in 03'. But nope, never heard of that happing before.

okay the whole birth control is wrong argument is lame. It is like saying, dont wear a seatbelt its stupid, if you dont want to die, dont drive, god will decide if you are to die. Anyway, I use several birth control methods, hormonal, spermicide and a good old condom. I use the nuva ring, which is great because it is inserted into the vagina and releases a constant stream of hormones for 3 weeks until you take it out. It is nice because with the pill, it has to be taken at the same time daily in order to maintain consistant coverage. I also use the vaginal foam, which helps kill the spem in case of accidental condom breakage. But no method is 100% If you are having sex there is always the risk of becoming pregnant.\n\nAnd FYI, birth control doesnt KILL a fertilized baby, it prevents the act of fertilization from occuring by having hormones that dont allow for a "fertilizable egg" to be produced, or preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg by either killing them with spermicide or blocking them from coming into contact with an egg.\n\nHonestly, are some of you for real?!?!?!?

My wife has the IUD that does NOT emit a hormone.  It's just up in there and has no side effects other than a little spotting every now and then.  It has been a GODSEND.

I got the Depo shot when I was a new mother about 8 years ago.  I bled for 3 months straight.  It was to the point that I was having regular blood tests to check me for anemia.  It was the first contraceptive shot I ever had and the last.  I returned to using the pill, and had no problems with that.

provera is a long-acting hormone injection, the only method of birth control by injection, that you can recive by a doctor, which will stop ovulation for three months.  the shot itself will thin the lining of the uterus so that the egg cannot implant into the uterin lining. i really hope that helps. if you have any other questions, ask me k

ok well to be honest, i would think the condom is the best way to prevent pregnacy for a woman that you want to get involved with. Itz pretty good to Std's too. Pills or anything else has some side effects that can be hazardous to a person's life. i would stick with the condoms

I used to get the Depo Provera shot, which is almost the same as the pill. I started getting it when I was 15, was on it for 2 years and then stopped. It took almost a year for me to get my period. I recently started again a few years ago and have been off of it for a little over a year and my period still isn't regular. My OB/GYN said that it can take up to 2 years for your body to rid itself of the birth control (whether it be the pill or the shot) and go back to normal. Just be patient. It'll balance out eventually.

its called PROTECTION\n\ncondoms, birth control pills

actually, to woidaj, depo-provera and depo-lupron are two different things: one is used exclusively to stop your period for coming, often good for sufferers of endometriosis, and depo-provera is a form of birth control, a shot that protects women from pregnancy for 3 months, for some women it protects them a little while after their shot is due, and after a few injections of it, it stops your period for most women, but not all (80 percent stop menstruating after their third shot). But to answer the asker's question, you should wait another month, b/c depo-lupron's effects may last 3 months after last insert. Also, if you are really concerned, you could also ask your doctor to give you this prescription called Provera, it's a pill that makes your period come, and if it does not come when taking Provera as prescribed, then it'll show something is not right.

go to a gyne and learn the correct way to use birth control pills and all the std's  and aids .....also a pregnancy test would be beneficial...you are playing russian roulette with no protection...

The condom is not considered a hormone-based contraceptive.  The pill,ring, and transdermal patch all contain hormones.  The IUD(intra-uterine device) contains copper only, but there is also an IUD with hormones.

You need a good source of information, you need to know the risks and benefits of all the options available to you.  This is one good site, there are many:\nhttp://www.region.peel.on.ca/health/hsexual/htmfiles/bmethod.htm\n\nHowever any method of birth control can fail, and no method of birth control is 100%.  So two methods are always better than one, and three isn't unreasonable either.
