Mrs XXXX
Depot Provera injections are suitable alternatives.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Madam.
I understand your concern and have gone through your direct query posted for me.
In case if your husband is not willing to use Condoms,then you need to certainly take alternative form of contraception to experience the pleasure of being newly wed rightly and safely.
Oral contraceptive pills as per your conviction,are not related to production of cancers.This indeed is truly false under normal conditions.
But of course require high degree of daily motivation.
OC pills can also be associated with few side effects like breast tenderness,menstrual abnormalities.
In case if you have no compliance with daily intake of pills,injectable contraceptives like Depot Provera will help.
This drug is usually injected into arm or buttocks once every 12 weeks.
This will offer excellent protection against pregnancy.
Of course,this drug is also associated with menstrual irregularities,but these are quite reversible on drug discontinuation.
Intrauterine contraceptive devices like Copper T are usually not advised in newly married women,since they require high degree of motivation.
They are significantly associated with uterine infections and in rare cases of uterine perforations.
Hence they are not usually recommended in women these days who are nulliparous(have not given birth as yet) .
Depot Provera is not advised for use more than 2years.
The basic advantages of Depot Provera are
1.You need not remember to take it everyday before sex.
2.It does not interfere with sexual activity.
3.It is effective in 99% cases.
4.Its less expensive than birth control pills.
It may take 3-4 months for most women to return to their usual fertility levels.
Please note this drug has to be taken only under strict medical prescription and supervision
Thank you.
