Answers:
First of all i'm glad you're being sensible and are looking into contraception!. I don't react very well to hormones so am pretty good at this topic!. I'll list some options below!. I'm assuming you are from the UK if you're from the US some of this will be different!.

1) Condoms!. My favourite!. They protect you against STD's, are just as good as the pill at stopping pregnancies(especially if the female doesn't take the pill at exactly the same time every day, they stop the whole problem of the wet patch and you can get all sorts of different type's to give you better sensations!. They are also free from the doctor and family planning clinic!.

2) Diapraghms or caps!. Not very good!. I became pregnant using one of these and they don't give the same protection against STD's!. They are a latex/silicone 'cup' that you put inside like a tampon that opens up inside you so sperm can not get inside your womb!.

3) The coil or IUD!. These had lots of bad press in the 1970's as the design was wrong and they were unsafe!. Modern coils are now safe!. They come with either hormones or no hormones and you keep them in for 5-10 years!. The only problem is they get inserted into your womb!. From personal experience I can tell you this is NOT comfortable is you haven't had children!. Most doctors will not fit these if it's possible for you to go on the pill!. I'm not allowed hormonal contraception and am allergic to latex so with me they decided to fit a coil as they were running out of options!. There is also a high chance of pain, heavy bleeding and they can decide to expel themselves!. This is why I had mine removed!.

4) There is something called the natural method that is very popular in the US!. It is not very good!. This is why catholic families have lots of children!. There is a scientific way of doing this where you use pee sticks to check the hormone level in your unine and look at you rmucus but you need to go on a special course and is not a good option when you are just starting out!.
To be honest I think if you want to avoid hormones your only option is to use condoms!. I used condoms when I first started having sex, (my fiance has had the snip so we don't need to worry about becoming pregnant and both had full STD testing!. I often felt like I was the only girl I knew who used condoms as all my friends were on the pill but they were always worrying about wheather they had caught STD's!. Once I got to university I met loads of girls who had always used condoms or had always used condoms and the pill!.

If you're worried about condoms breaking yes it does happen but very rarely!. In 10 years I've had less than 10 break!. If you use condoms and one breaks go to a doctor, family planning clinic or cemist and get the morning after pill as soon as possible!. It uses the same hormones as the contraceptive pill but as it's only one tablet it's out of your system before you get any side effects!.

Hope that helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I take Femulen (it may have different names, Im in Scotland!) - it is a mini-pill and seems to agree with me well!. The first pill I was given by my Doctor was called Dianette, but that made me feel bloated and gain weight, which was really upsetting for me at the time!.
With the mini-pill, it is important to take it at the same time EVERYDAY with no breaks!. It is fine, as long as you have a good memory I guess!
Probably the best thing you can do is have a chat with your Doctor, as they will know your medical history and be able to offer you some choices - I am sure there are over 20 different brands of Pill, so you will find one that works best with your body!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
