You should: Unprotected sex will results in std s besides pregnancy , spermicide has high failure rate , condom also has , contraceptives has 1% failure rate per year , see a gynecologist in your area, for birth control counseling , which is best for you and rx appropriate device for you.

Can spermicide film delay your period? Meaning the contents in the film mess with your cycle? Or vagina? Or will my period come when it's due?

A member asked:

Does semen die when its dry? Not only that but is sex safe if you ejaculate then take a good hot shower then dry good with a towel and then put new clothes on and wait for about 20 mins then use a spermicide condom? Would that be considered safe?
