When you can’t use hormonal methods of birth control…

what do you use???

I currently have two friends who can’t mix hormones & contraception due to side effects, and I don’t have any real insight to offer them (Googling only gets you so far!).

Would anyone be willing to share their personal experiences (good, bad & ugly) and guidance on this?

Caya diaphragm! 

It’s one-size-fits-most so you don’t need a fitting, but you do need a prescription from your provider. I found it pretty easy to get used to, it’s easy to clean, and I like that you use it only when you need it. No hormones constantly affecting your body.

I would definitely recommend it.

I love the idea of a diaphragm—but is it annoying to reapply the gel if you have sex more than once? How do you deal with spontaneous sex?
