Virgins with questions.
| Tue, 03-23-2004 - 12:32pm |
My boyfriend (23) and I (20) are waiting on my doctor’s appointment in April for me to start on the pill. Even then it will be a month’s wait after that...in the mean time we are discussing other forms of contraception.
We decided on using a condom in conjunction with spermicide. We are both virgins so we are naturally a little nervous about the effectiveness of this method to prevent pregnancy. Which spermicide is best? Are foams more effective? Is there another method we should use or should we just wait until I’m on the pill?

As for effectiveness, I personally don't know. There should be something out there on the web, maybe Planned Parenthood has something on their site.
Good Luck

Your best option, of course, is to wait until you're on the pill.
I used only condoms for the first four years I was sexually active (no spermicide, just condoms).
