A member asked:

What can i take other than ec to avoid pregnancy? i don't want to get on the pill cuz i don't need anything messing up my hormones, is there any home remedy i can practice along with a condom or pull out method?

Pull out is not a "method" as sperm leak continuously during sex. I copper IUD can provide protection for years with no hormones but is pricey and insertion uncomfortable. There is no herbs/home remedies that are a dependable way to avoid pregnancy.

Good question. Yes, there are spermicidal gels and creams that you can use while your partner uses a condom and the combination is much more effective in preventing pregnancy. You can also be fitted by a doctor for a diaphragm that is also used with spermicide gel and goes inside the woman. Other options include cervical caps, some IUDs (some use hormones, some don’t), and sponge.

There are no effective "home remedies". Visit this site for various options for contraception: https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/contraception/index.htm Get HPV vaccine.
