    If you are in the US, any major drug or chain store should have them available.

    Your legal options is the local pharmacy. What ever you need, you should find it.

    I would make sure to use non-latex condoms on TOP of whatever other birth control SHE decides to use.

    And as far as her options, she needs to see a physician. There are very few over-the-counter birth control options for women, and a complete check-up is required before any doctor will prescribe birth control of any sort.

    Apparently no one seems to understand what I am asking for. I use non latex condoms I only know of two or three brands I was wondering if there were any others or if there might be other options just for me there is nothing a doctor can give that does not mess up her cycle.

    I gave you a very general answer, if your seeking something higher than a over the counter product. Your best bet is to consult with a doctor not a open forum.

    No need to be so rude... There are different products throughout the world, and from pharmacy to pharmacy, each brand is specific to the area and the pharmacy. Since this is a worldwide web site you risk getting answers from everywhere.

    The best thing to do is go to your pharmacy and ASK them what brands they sell.

    How about a vasectomy?

    That's COMPLETELY latex-free.

    And just an addition about your girlfriend. If the pill messes her cycle up. Has she thought ab out IUD's or maybe Depo-Provera (the needle) I've been on depo for ohh goodness YEARS now. There is a risk with it for bone density problems. I have to be scanned for it every two years. It is the only BC I have come across besides internal devices that does not mess with my system. Though with some users of depo they can bleed constantly and need to be taken off it. You may not bleed at all. And in some rare cases you will still have your peroid but less often. Like once every twelve weeks. It can be expensive if you don't have a medical plan. In canada it costs me around 49.00 once every twelve weeks for it. Which isn't bad in my opinion. The shot goes either in your arm or your butt cheek (where the muscle is bigger) though alternating between places is what the doctor reccomends. Me personally I only get it in my arms

    I actually owned and ran a Pharmacy - so, yes, there are a lot of brands out there. That doesn't mean YOUR Pharmacy carries them - so ask the Pharmacist. And by the way, most condoms ARE used by males so you really didn't have to write that part.

    And don't EVER send me a PM again - if you don't have the intestinal fortitude (which means guts) to post it on the board, keep it to yourself!

    eriknugent i don't mean to be rude but no one will answer the question in a specific manner that I requested sorry again I was looking for specifics most pharmacies only know what they supply
    No need to disagree with me. I'm sorry, but you aren't going to get specifics here. As far as I know, we only have one member who has ever run a pharmacy.

    You have two choices here that I can see... Go to your local pharmacy and see what THEY carry, or follow Synnen's advice and get your tubes clipped, tied and burned.

    eriknugent, do some research, why should we do it for you, especially when your rude when you do get answers.

    Google is a great tool, use it, learn it, love it. I'm tired of doing other peoples research for them.

    Also, read the rules, disagrees are for factually incorrect answers only, not because you didn't like the answer. :(

    asking for specifics and being told to go some where else is not an answer it may be what I need to do but it is not an answer
    I beg to differ. If I've told you what you need to do, then it is an answer.

    Once again, my advice was not factually incorrect, so you have no right to give me a reddie. It's against the rules of the site. Rules you were required to read before using this site.

    I suggest you read them now, because if you continue this you won't last long here.

    Thank you.

    If you're married and just not ready for kids yet---not an option.

    The OP doesn't state whether he is married to his partner.

    The OP also hasn't been back in about 4 months.

    ... why did we even bother with this then?
