Over the Counter Birth Control Posted: 08-16-04 18:18pm
I am already on the pill (ortho
tri-cyclen) but was off for a few months
when I went to another state for a family
situation. I just started taking them
again this week and I will be going back
home for a week next weekend. I want to
be protected that week and would like a
backup just for peace of mind, but was
wondering if I have any options other than
condoms? I would be willing to go to a
clinic over this, the problem is I haven't
been able to get any appointments within
the next month after I found out the date
I was going home. So is there anything
other than condoms available over the
counter?

Yes there is foam, inserts and even film
like inserts that are spermicidal. If
you go to a pharmacy or even anwhere like
wal-mart and they have many options.

If you use any of these products,use them
in combination.Like spermicide and a
condom.I don't know about films,never used
them.Good luck!Patty
