What Is The Best Medicine To Prevent Pregnancy?
Hello so i just started to have sex and my partner and i dont want me to be put on birth control becuase we hear that after i stop using it its harder to get pregnant and that it makes a person gain weight...is there anything else that we can do to prevent us getting pregnant even with the use of a condom

Hello,
If you do not wish to use hormonal contraception, you can combine two barrier methods or practice the safe period. You can use female condoms, caps and diaphragms, spermicidal vaginal tablets or have intercourse only during the anovulatory or safe period, in addition to using the male condom. This enhances the safety and helps prevent conception to a major extent. You can also ask your consultant for the possibility of IUD insertion if you wish to have protection for longer period. Hope this helps.
