erm... what is the effecient way prevent pregnancy? i only planned to have another baby next year....

There's a lot of effective contraceptive methods a woman can use (if used correctly) e.g. oral contraceptive pills, injectables, intra-uterine devices, etc.....

You can also see your doctor or go to the family planning clinic to get more information or advice....

either oral contraceptive pills or condom. if you dont want to mess your woman body system, then dedicate yourself to use condom, else bring your woman to a doctor or family planning centre to see what type of contraceptive pill will suit her most.

as long as your woman is not ill, did not miss a dose, taking it at the same time everyday as instructed, had diarrhea or vomiting, take any antibiotic, then it is quite an effective contraception.

I'd prefer the use of condom. Coz, all those pills and other contraceptive method could only harm the girl's body and health. And this could actually affects them mentally too.

Condom is quite ok if you used it perfectly, with a failure rate of about 2 in 100. However, with typical use, the failure rate increases to about 15 in 100.....

It's not that high and the good thing is it doesn't have any major side effect to the girl. Sometimes the guys have to take a bigger stand in preventing pregnancy too rather than always relying on the girls and have them suffer all the side effects.

hi all,

is it possible after taking ECP, one didn't have any side effect other than easier to get tired and emotion affected?

and bout the blooding issue, will immediately come after 2 days of taking the pill O_o" ???

the answers are

NO and

NO.

well not all ppl will get the s/e of ecp though, and only abt 5% will get nausea and vomiting whom actually vomit and therefore the ecp has no effect.

after taking ecp, you will still have to practice safe sex.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of guys who don't want to use condom.
How does it affects girls mentally? They will be worrying for the whole month?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of guys who don't want to use condom.

If your partner doesn't want to use & u're in doubt, say NO lar. Don't be threatened by him saying that you don't love him if doesn't use condom

Sorry everyone, the reply by yangxi "If your partner doesn't want to use & u're in doubt, say NO lar. Don't be threatened by him saying that you don't love him if doesn't use condom"
is actually by me. I accidentally used his account to reply.

how about contraceptive patch? does it really work? and can we get it in msia? i actually saw some westener with the patch on their arm b4. but am not sure whether can we get it in msia.


is there any other way beside, taking contraceptive pill, condom and IUD? heard something about injection for the female and can prevent pregnancy up to several months. is that true?

I doesnt follow all the post here one by one , can i ask what's the best combination to be safe rather than sorry ?

Condom with ?

What the heck is birth control pills ?
What's the differences between BCP and Morning after ?

morning after is emergency hormonal contraception. it is used when unprotected sex (failed contraceptions e.g. burst condoms, missed dose of oral contraceptives pill, raped, etc) happened in the past 72 hours. as the name itself suggest, it is used in case of EMERGENCY.

whereas bcp or oral contraceptive pills are medication that is taken regularly/daily (often 21 days per month) to prevent pregnancy. bcp is used for family planning, protect from unprotected sex.

ecp is never meant to be used as regular contraceptive measure.

basically, if condom or bcp is used appropriately, it can prevent pregnancy up to 99%. so if you are a responsible man, use condom for contraception, else if you are reluctant to, at least ask your partner to take oral contraceptives, and of course that has to be prescribed from the doctor for the first time.

My gf took it roughly 24 hours after sex, Postinor2..... I am wondering why her period havent come, its 5 days since we have sex, her period suppose to come on 21 Mac, but delay until now .... I am so worry...

there is plenty of reasons why period could come late. stress are the most common, but also could due to the EHC pill.

the best way to keep your worry away / answered. go and get her pregnancy test kit. if it is negative, then you dont have to worry anymore and just wait then, period can come two weeks late. if it is positive, then it is time to plan then.

As far as I know, her period should come in about a week or so after eating the pills. But if you're worried, get a pregnancy test.

dont use the postinor2 often, i heard its not so good in the long run

Today is the fifth day, this is her first time using that....haizz....anyway if she is pregnant, what kind of abortion method works less damage to her body?

here doesnt seems to be the correct place to ask but oh well, its the most relevant thread.

will a girl get pregnant if sperm drop outside her vagina and no sexual intercourse happen? i've heard that sometimes but rarely sperms DO swim into vagina and the girl still get pregnant?

depends. pre-ejaculatory body fluid may have sperm and conception can still occur. however, this happen at a very low rate.
