What is a good form of birth control to...?

use with Nuvaring for double protection. I'm allergic to latex, and am not interested in other types of condoms. what do other NUvaring users use, or do you rely completely on the ring?What is a good form of birth control to...?
If you use the Nuva Ring exactly as it should be used, the efficacy rating is 99%, which is similar to the shot and patch, and slightly higher than the 97% efficacy rating of the pill.








Update: There is a spermicidal product on the market called VCF (Vaginal Contraceptive Film). Its an OTC product that is easy to insert, shouldn't interfere with the Nuva Ring (as it melts nearly instantly!) and would give you a secondary line of defense.





Sorry I didn't think of it sooner!What is a good form of birth control to...?
If you're not interested in other types of condoms, then what you're really saying is that you're not interested in protecting yourself against STI's. Suck it up and use non-latex condoms. This is not about preventing pregnancy - it's about saving your life.
Utilize an alternative orifice.
I'm sorry you're having a hard time finding answers to your question.





NuvaRing, when used correctly, is actually over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. (I'm sure you already know this.) As long as you make sure it stays inserted and remove it after 3 weeks (and remember to reinsert it on time), your chances of becoming pregnant are extremely slim.





However, you could consider a barrier form of contraception for yourself. The diaphragm, maybe? Or, if you want OTC protection, consider the sponge combined with spermicide. You'd be a brick wall then. ;)





Hope that helps.





**EDIT** I'm sorry, I didn't think about the possibility of the diaphragm/etc. affecting the placement of the Ring.
