I can't take the pill because it interfers with some other medication that i am using. I am scared of IUDs.

I had a pregnancy scare in Jan., because I thought the condom leaked, because there was WAY more fluid after sex than normal, but I took a preg. test and everything was fine.

Any suggestions?
Have you looked at progesterone only BCP's? Depo shots? Since you are single, you still need the condoms, so if the other two does not work for you, perhaps a barrier method such as a Cervical cap or Diaphragm with condoms?

Some women are irritated by spermicides. But you have to try it for yourself to see if you have a problem with it. Try the VCF...
