With so many options out there, picking a form of birth control can be overwhelming. Start with a few questions: Do you need protection against STDs? Are convenience and cost important? How about effectiveness? Only abstinence is 100% effective, but other methods come close, so make sure you review this information and then ask your doctor which options are best for you.
Fertility Awareness: Also referred to as natural family planning, fertility awareness means avoiding sex when the woman is most fertile. The most reliable way to do this is to watch for changes in cervical mucus and body temperature. To use this method correctly, it’s best to get training from a health care professional. Pros: No drugs or devices, inexpensive. Cons: Limits spontaneous sex, 25% of typical users get pregnant.
Spermicide: Spermicide contains a chemical that kills sperm. It comes in the form of foam, jelly, cream, or film that is placed inside the vagina before sex. Some types must be put in place 30 minutes ahead of time. Frequent use may cause tissue irritation, increasing the risk of infections and STDs. Spermicides are most often used along with other birth control methods. Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive ($1 per use). Cons: May increase the risk of STDs, 29% get pregnant.
Male Condom: The latex condom is the classic barrier method. It prevents sperm from entering the woman’s body, protecting against pregnancy and STDs. Of couples who rely only on male condoms, 15% get pregnant in a year. Pros: Widely available, protects against STDs, inexpensive (under $1 each). Cons: Only effective if used correctly every time. Can’t be reused.
Female Condom: The female condom is a thin plastic pouch that lines the vagina and can be put in place up to 8 hours before sex. Users grasp a flexible, plastic ring at the closed end to guide it into position. It’s somewhat less effective than the male condom. Pros: Widely available, some protection against STDs, conducts body heat better than a male condom. Cons: Can be noisy, 21% of users get pregnant, not reusable. Should not be used with a male condom, to avoid breakage.
Diaphragm: The diaphragm is a rubber dome that is placed over the cervix before sex. It is used with a spermicide. Effectiveness compares to the male condom – 16% of average users get pregnant, including those who don’t use the device correctly every time. Pros: Inexpensive (a $15-$75 device lasts two years.) Cons: Must be fitted by a doctor, no STD protection. Can’t be used during your period due to a risk of toxic shock syndrome.
Cervical Cap: A cervical cap is similar to a diaphragm, but smaller. The FemCap slips into place over the cervix, blocking entry into the uterus. It is used with spermicide. The failure rate for the cervical cap is 15% for women who have never had children and 30% for those who have. Pros: Can stay in place for 48 hours, inexpensive. Cons: Must be fitted by a doctor, no protection against STDs. Can’t be used during your period.
Birth Control Sponge: The birth control sponge, sold as the Today Sponge, is made of foam and contains spermicide. It is placed against the cervix up to 24 hours before sex. The sponge is about as effective as the cervical cap. But unlike the diaphragm or cervical cap, no fitting by a doctor is required. Pros: No prescription, effective immediately. Cons: Difficult to insert correctly, no STD protection. Can’t be used during your period.
Birth Control Pill: The most common type of birth control pill uses the hormones estrogen and progestin to prevent ovulation. When taken on schedule, the pill is highly effective. About 8% of typical users get pregnant, including those who miss doses. Like all hormonal contraceptives, the pill requires a prescription. Pros: More regular, lighter periods, or no periods, depending on the type of pill. Less cramping. Cons: Cost ($15-$50 per month), no STD protection. May cause side effects, including breast tenderness, spotting, serious blood clots, and raised blood pressure. Some women should not use birth control pills.
Birth Control Patch: Women who have trouble remembering a daily pill may want to consider the birth control patch. The Ortho Evra patch is worn on the skin and changed only once a week for three weeks with a fourth week that is patch-free. The patch releases the same types of hormones as the birth control pill and is just as effective. Pros: More regular, lighter periods with less cramping, no need to remember a daily pill. Cons: Cost ($15-$50 per month), may cause skin irritation or other side effects similar to birth control pills. Doesn’t protect against STDs.
Vaginal Ring: The NuvaRing is a soft plastic ring that is worn inside the vagina. The ring releases the same hormones as the pill and patch and is just as effective. But it only needs to be replaced once a month. Pros: Lighter, more regular periods, only replaced once per month. Cons: Cost ($30-$50 per month), may cause vaginal irritation or other side effects similar to pills and the patch. Doesn’t protect against STDs.
Birth Control Shot: The birth control shot, known as Depo-Provera, is a hormonal injection that protects against pregnancy for three months. For the typical couple, it is more effective than the birth control pill — only 3% of users get pregnant in a year. Pros: Only injected four times per year, highly effective. Cons: Cost (about $240 per year), may cause spotting and other side effects. Doesn’t protect against STDs.
Birth Control Implant: The birth control implant (Implanon) is a matchstick-sized rod that is placed under the skin of the upper arm. It releases the same hormone that’s in the birth control shot, but the implant protects against pregnancy for 3 years. The failure rate is less than 1%. Pros: Lasts three years, highly effective. Cons: More expensive upfront ($400-$800 for exam, implant, and insertion), may cause side effects, including irregular bleeding. Doesn’t protect against STDs.
IUD: IUD stands for intrauterine device, a T-shaped piece of plastic that is placed inside the uterus by a doctor. The copper IUD, ParaGard, works for as long as 12 years. The hormonal IUD, Mirena, must be replaced after 5 years. Both types make it more difficult for sperm to fertilize the egg. Fewer than eight in 1,000 women get pregnant. Pros: Long-lasting, low-maintenance. Cons: Irregular or heavier periods. More expensive upfront, may slip out, may cause side effects.
Tubal Ligation: If you’re sure you won’t want biological children in the future, you may be ready for permanent birth control. The traditional method for women is called tubal ligation or “having your tubes tied.” A surgeon closes off the fallopian tubes, preventing eggs from making their journey out of the ovaries. (The banding method is shown here.) Pros: Permanent, nearly 100% effective. Cons: Requires surgery, may not be reversible, expensive. Doesn’t protect against STDs.
Tubal Implants: A newer procedure makes it possible to block the fallopian tubes without surgery. Small implants of metal or silicone are placed inside each tube. Scar tissue eventually grows around the implants and blocks the tubes. Once an X-ray confirms the tubes are blocked, no other form of birth control is needed. Pros: Permanent, no surgery, almost 100% effective. Cons: Takes a few months to become effective. May raise the risk of pelvic infections, irreversible, expensive.
Vasectomy: Besides condoms, a vasectomy is the only birth control option available to men. It involves surgically closing the vas deferens – the tubes that carry sperm from the testes, through the reproductive system. This prevents the release of sperm but doesn’t interfere with ejaculation. Pros: Permanent, cheaper than tubal ligation, almost 100% effective. Cons: Requires surgery, not effective immediately, may not be reversible.
Emergency Contraception: Emergency contraception works after sex to help avoid pregnancy. This is an option if no birth control was used or if a woman suspects her usual method failed. Plan B, Plan B One-Step, and a generic version of Plan B called Next Choice all contain a high dose of a hormone found in many birth control pills. No prescription is needed for women aged 17 and older. These types must be used within 72 hours. Ella uses a non-hormonal drug and requires a doctor’s prescription. It can be taken up to five days after sex.
Options for Older Women: Age and lifestyle are important factors in choosing a form of birth control. If you’re over age 35 and smoke or are obese, the combination birth control pill, patch, and ring are not recommended. It’s best to consult your doctor about safe alternatives. If you’re approaching the age of menopause, the birth control shot has an added benefit: It may relieve some of the symptoms of perimenopause.
Withdrawal: Nearly six in 10 American women report that a partner has used “pulling out,” the age-old method that relies on the man withdrawing his penis from the vagina before ejaculation. Newer reviews show that when it’s done correctly every time, about 4% of users get pregnant in a year. With more typical use, about 18% get pregnant. Pros: Free, no need for devices or hormones. Cons: May be hard to do correctly. No protection against STDs.
Least Effective Methods: Without using any form of birth control, 85% of sexually active couples will get pregnant within a year. Even the least effective birth control options reduce that number considerably.
Most Effective Methods: Although barrier methods, such as the condom or diaphragm, are moderately effective with typical patterns of use, hormonal contraceptives have a better track record for effectiveness. There are also several options for couples that prefer the lowest possible odds of getting pregnant. Two of these are reversible – the IUD and hormonal implant. Of course, the only birth control method that is 100% effective is abstinence.

Let's Get Started & Buy Some Drugs!
Purchasing prescription drugs online without a prescription is not as difficult as it may seem; however, saving money should not be your number one goal; safety should be your biggest concern. The class of drugs that you are interested in purchasing can control how difficult it is to obtain. There are a variety of ways to purchase prescription medicine online without a "hand written" prescription, but it is important to know what you are doing, and what risks you face, before buying drugs online without a prescription written by your physician/healthcare provider.
What Kind of Medications Can I Buy?
Different online pharmacies offer different medications. If you cannot find the medication that you want at one pharmacy, it may be available at another. Some drugs, however, are not available online without a prescription. The FDA regulates drugs in different classes - making all controlled substances (anything appearing on the DEA scheduled substance list) off limits to online pharmacies. Some of the more tightly regulated drugs are nearly impossible to buy without going outside of the continental United States. This is because the Drug Enforcement Agency monitors the drugs from the time that they leave the manufacturer. True online pharmacies will never promote medicines like Vicodon, Oxycontin, Xanax, and other really strong medication because the DEA would shut them down fairly quickly. The pharmacies that are able to do this are international companies that put the liability on the person buying the medicine. We'll discuss the legality of this a bit later.
Which Medication Do You Want?
It seems pretty clear to most that we want pain medicine to treat pain or antibiotics to treat a cold, but what about all the other medicines that these pharmacies offer. How do I know what they're for? Research Research Research! In order to keep your health in good standing you better research every thing you can about it. How much should you pay? What kind of dosage should you take? What drugs does this drug interact BADLY with? Most of these online pharmacies don't offer up a pharmacists phone number to discuss these things with - and the ones that do, can they really be trusted?
Which Pharmacy To Use?
To buy medicine online without a prescription, you must know where to look. Like many unregulated industries, there are some legitimate online pharmacies and other online shops that have a web store front, but have no intention of filling your order. Once they take your money, you will not hear from them again.Online pharmacies that take payment COD or by credit card are more likely to be legitimate than those that request payment by money order or cash transfer. A COD (cash on delivery) payment guarantees that you will receive something before paying, while credit card payments can always be disputed. Another way to determine if an online pharmacy is legitimate is by the method it uses to fill your order. Most legitimate pharmacies want to remain open, and the only way to do that is to remain in good standing with law enforcement. It is required for anyone buying a prescription drug to have a prescription written by a physician. Most legitimate online pharmacies get around this rule by treading into a gray area, with something called online consultations. You must undergo an online consultation with every purchase (this is done by answering a series of health related questions). All legitimate online pharmacies have FedEx next day delivery.
Is Buying Drugs Online Illegal?
Absolutely not......if you purchase from the right medication from the right pharmacy. It's not as complicated as it sounds. Most people find one place they're comfortable with and use only that store - even though their choices for pharmacies is almost endless. Finding a good online pharmacy is very easy to do if you know what to look for. Here are a couple tips to keep you out of trouble: NO buying medicine from Canada or any other country - you cannot import drugs, NO buying controlled substances from any online pharmacy
