Hi Angela and welcome,
Other natural methods to prevent pregnancy are
1. rhythm method: the fertile days are from day 10-20 in women with regular cycles of 28-30 days. So avoid sex during this period.
2. withdrawl method: the male partner withdraws the penis just before ejaculation and ejaculates outside.
3. cervical mucus check: when the cervical mucus is thin and watery do not have sex.
Having said all this, none of these methods are very effective in preventing pregnancy. Condoms are the best in young women as they not only protect against pregnancy but also against sexually transmitted diseases.
So kindly reconsider all the available methods and then make a choice that suits you the best.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
