I think the best way to control having sex is use protection but you can still get pregant. If you take birth control make sure you consult with you doctor because there are some serious side effects. Please listen cafully know that having a relationship not just having sex. Make sure that you talk to you partner about this issue. If he only interested in sex then you can wait.

A form of Birth control.

they say that pre-cum CAN get a girl pregnant. The best way to avoid pregnancy is of course abstinence. Or you could try birth control and condoms. Diaphrams also work.

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?!?!?!?

A condom is 85-98% effective.  Look at this website:\nhttp://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/condom.htm

Actually its about 95% realiable provided u dont miss a pill (which means for more than 12hrs). Abstinence is of course the most reliable...not the most fun but yes most reliable :P. Intra uterine devices are good too but comes with side effects like increase vaginal thrush and increase chance of pelvic inflammatory disease. Condom with additional spermicide is a pretty good choice too. U may also wanna check out Evra patches...u patch it on and u only need to replace it once a week.

use other methods of birth control DUH

No, because condoms are only good for like 15 minutes...and then are only 98% effective.  \n\nA combinations of condoms (when used properly) and the pill are your best bet, because that provides protection from STD's as well as birth control.

Wow!\nI cannot believe the ignorance of even doctors!\nCheck out "VCF" of "Vaginal Contraceptive Film" -- it's a bioadhesive which looks like a thin piece of plastic. Unlike suppositories and other spermicides, it isn't messy. You fold it in quarters and then place it over your cervix- and wait about 15 minutes. I have very sensitive skin, and this is the ONLY spermicide/condom-backup which does NOT irritate me. You can find it at WalMart.\n\nOther than spermicides as back up to the condom, there is also the IUD or intrauterine device (which is as effective or more so than the pill).\nI got the copper T about a year ago, and have been very happy with it. It does make your periods heavier and cramping worse for up to 6 months (depending on how your body reacts to it), but if you consider that it can be kept in and effective for up to 10 YEARS.... For me, it was and has been worth it. \n\nAnyway- I hope this helps. I lost my sex drive completely when I was on the pill, and the link below is to some scientific proof that those hormones can permanently lower your sex drive. Info on the IUD and VCF is easy to find.

Sex by hand is the safest sex there is. With some lady's you take your chances an hope for the best.

IUD, birth control pills, birth control patch, sponge, diaphragm, tubes tied, etc. See a doctor to see what method works best for you.

None - the best is abstinence

If you don't want to wear a condom, only have sex in a long term committed relationship in which both of you have been tested and you are 100% positive that she isn't cheating and that she is also on the pill.\n\nOtherwise, abstinence is always 100% fool-proof.\n\nIf you don't like either of these options, there are extra sensitive condoms out there.  They are thin to give you that added feeling but protect too.  Check out the web or go browsing the aisles (an adult shop has a lot of varieties) for different options.

Natural Family Planning ("the rythem method") isn't exactly the most reliable way of preventing pregnancy, but if you want info, look here:\nhttp://www.familyplanning.net/index-home.html

I've heard that you should really use a alternative method of birth control until you start your next birth control cycle.  The effectiveness of the pills is a trickle-down cycle.  You get the most drugs out of the pill in the beginning and less and less as your cycle goes on.\nAntibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the pill and you won't build up your "protection" again until you start your next pill cycle.\nUse a condom just to be safe.

The best option is to research your options. The best site would be plannedparenthood.com. \nIf you are looking to become pregnant in the next year I would reccomend condoms + spermacide/foam.\nIf you are willing to wait longer than one year I would recomend speaking with your gyn and asking him/her about your options for perscription birth control.\nIf you are on the pill/patch/ring, you should wait at least 3 months after quiting the method before becoming pregnant, due to the effect that these methods have on your uterine lining (they make it decrease each month, so you need some time to build it back up).
