 You forgot a lot of birth control types. Do a google search of birth control; they should have a full list. Otherwise you're going to get a lot of "others." I chose other. I'm on the implanon and the mini pill to regulate my periods.

other: natural family planning (temping and monitoring cervical mucus, avoiding intercourse on fertile days). I'll let you know how it works down the road; I'm still in my post partum period and since we're living with my parents and both boys are in the room with us, well, that's yet another form of birth control - abstinence. :)

None - we have infertility problems, getting pregnant is harder for us, than avoiding pregnancy. :(

I just got a diaphram. Haven't used it yet. Don't really want to leave it in with spermacide for eight hours for something that only takes minutes.

 i was only using condoms and spermicide but needed to take the mini pill for my PCOS symptoms. i don't have as crazy periods but it makes me feel pregnant all the time.
