Since
we are assuming that your husband is
disease-free (you obviously must be)
and after marriage both you and him
will pursue a
monogamous relationship,
you have more choices to have both
pleasure and protection.
Therefore, pills and patches are
perfect because they don't have
anything messy to deal with and you
don't have to worry about pregnancy at
all. But I will also add
information below about other
options (In any case, please
consult your doctor since this is not
meant to be a substitute for medical
advice. Only your doctor can
decide what is best for you but if you
do your research and have more
information about the choices you can
tell your doctor what your preferences
are): Depo-Provera: When you use
Depo-Provera, you don't ovulate. Depo-Provera stops the release of eggs from your ovaries.
And you take the pill roughly once
each quarter. Orthotri-cyclenlo:
It is like a regular birth control
pill but with less hormones and
identical effectivness but lower side
effects. ParaGard:
This is hormone-free, reversible intrauterine contraceptive that can be used for up to 10 years or removed at any time.
Has zero side effects. LadyComp
and/or BabyComp (Distributed by RaXMedical):
This is a truly natural way to control
pregnancy by not being intimate when
you are most likely to conceive.
All you do is buy the LadyComp device
and just press its button once a day
for 30 seconds. It immediately
tells you if you can be intimate or
not. Very accurate.
Implanon:
It is an implantable contraceptive
(matchstick-size rod is inserted
underneath the skin of the upper arm).
It can prevent pregnancies for up to
three years with a 99% effectiveness.

Learn more about each of these options
and then make up your mind after
talking to your doctor. I also
suggest that you include your partner
in these decisions because without his
support and cooperation some of them
may not work. They are all
fairly safe but only your doctor can
decide what is best for you.
ORTHO EVRA
or (OrthoEvra): This is
a contraceptive patch that contains hormones similar to those
found in birth control pills.
You simply wear the patch in a
discreet area of the body once a week
and forget about it since it is
totally water-proof. This patch
has, however, gotten into trouble
after reports that some women have
suffered blood clots, stroke or heart attacks.
Many women who have been injured have
filed lawsuit
against the maker of Ortho Evra Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical
( a subsidiary of Johnson &
Johnson). The FDA has now
changed the label with a bolded warning about higher exposure to estrogen for women using the weekly patch compared to taking a daily birth control pill containing 35 micrograms of estrogen, a commonly prescribed dose. Higher levels of estrogen may put some women at increased risk for getting blood clots.
In general, a woman may be at higher risk for getting side effects if she takes higher doses of estrogen.
