Other than using the birth control pills, are there other form of contraceptives?

For example, it's best to combine the usage of condom and birth control pills right? Cos i heard that Birth control pills has some kind of terrible side effect, like drying up of the eggs etc. So what are other combination of contraceptives that would prevent pregnancy? Practically to 0 percent? Thanks for your help guys, very much appreciated. (:Other than using the birth control pills, are there other form of contraceptives?
There are MANY forms of birth control besides the Pill:


Patch


Depo-Provers (injection)


Implanon (implant)


IUD


NuvaRing


diaphragm


contraceptive sponge


spermicidal foam


condoms (male or female)





The Pill does NOT dry up your eggs, though.Other than using the birth control pills, are there other form of contraceptives?
Whoever told you that is wrong, birth control pills don't dry up your eggs, they stop your egg from being released and produces more cervical mucus so that it's harder for the sperm to get into the uterus.





Birth control pills are actually probably one of the best forms of birth control, IUDs and such are the ones with terrible side effects like the other user stated above.





Nothing protects you 100% from pregnancy except not having sex. If you take your birth control pills religiously and use condoms when you're having sex then your chances are very very very slim.





When choosing birth control, remember to look up on all the side effects and what it actually does to prevent pregnancy. I was on birth control pills for 3 years, i stopped when i was trying to conceive and i got pregnant in 2months.
Can't say I've ever heard about the pill drying up eggs, but I can tell you from experience that there are a number of birth control methods each with varying degrees of success and side effects.





I personally use Yasmin + condoms, which has been a very effective combination. Condoms are important because although the pill prevents pregnancy you also have to consider the risk of disease transmission.





In choosing your method(s) of birth control you need to think carefully about a number of things - will you be able to remember to take a pill at about the same time each day? Are you concerned about side effects from contraception pills (such as weight gain or depression) or are there side effects you see as a plus (regulated periods, reduced cramps, control of your periods, skin less likely to break out for hormonal reasons). How would you feel about less common methods such as the female condom?





You can get low dose pills, such as Yasmin, which have minimal side effects; I haven't had any and I've been quite pleased with it. I tried the three monthly injection years ago (depo pro vera) but found that I just didn't feel right on it; I wouldn't say it was depression but I certainly wasn't my normal self.





Take a look at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/birth-c鈥?/a> to check out some options. It also has a good list of the factors you need to consider. Good luck in making your decision!
Birth control pills are better labeled contraceptive pills because they prevent conception, prevent the egg from being fertilized..





IUDs, on the other hand, should be considered a form of birth control because they do not prevent conception, they merely make the uterus unsuitable for implantation.





Be careful which form of pregnancy prevention you choose!
I don't know where you get your information, but you need to learn to read the CORRECT information.


Your eggs do NOT dry up..they become OLD as you become old...there are condoms, 'rings' (with BC inside), shots, all kinds of pills, IUD's (some of which have hormones inside), womens condoms (which aren't used much), you can have your tubes tied and men can have a vascetomy.


What you mean is pregnancy 100% prevented..yes. Having your tubes tied, not having sex or a vascetomy for the man...
Well no conriceptive has 0 percent. There are always risks. I've never heard that about birth control pills. But the have a the nuva ring that you just insert into your vagina. The depo shot given every 3 months. There's a patch you put on your arm. A insert that the doctor does that lasts for five years. And then a crazy amount of pills that are all different. Go to a doctor or a health clinic and talk to them or even just grab the brochures and read up on them. They will help you to find what is best.
If you are not in a monogamous relationship CONDOM should be a must. and birth control is always a good idea
condom, femidom
why would you want birth control i am 16 and ttc
