They need to be kept in a cool dry place away from sharp objects, in order for them to work properly.

Female condoms-The female condoms is good for those whose partner does not like wearing condoms and for those who want to control the birth control. Basically it works the same as a condom.

Diaphragm-this is a rubber dome that fits over the cervix and must always be used with a spermicide every time you have intercourse.

This will not protect you against STDs and will cost you about $20 and $10 for spermicide.

Depo-provera- with this treatment you will have to get a shot in the behind every 6 months that releases a hormone similar to the pill. This hormone keeps your ovaries from releasing eggs so basically makes it impossible to get pregnant. Most women do not get their period during this so the money you save from buying tampons or pads you can use it to buy condoms to use at the same time.

Natural Birth Control

Rhythm Methods-This method involves knowing when your body is ovulating and when you are most likely to get pregnant. The trick is to avoid having sex in that time. You can do this by taking you temperature every morning(your temp increases when you are ovulating), examining your cervical mucus and charting your period. The average women ovulates for 7 days the middle of each period. It will only give you a 50/50 chance of not getting pregnant.

Withdrawal- is exactly as it sounds. When the men feels the need to ejaculate, he pulls out his penis so the semen does not enter the vagina. It requires self-control and even if he does pull out before there is enough sperm in pre-ejaculate to cause pregnancy.
