So, my bf and I are having an issue with deciding on birth control. It is having a negative impact on our sex life really. We haven't been having sex lately at all cuz of this. I am really against forms of hormonal birth control which is most of the birth control out there. I do not like dealing with all of those side effects. I also can not remember to take a pill everyday which is why i can't take daily vitamins.

Condoms would be fine with me, except i am allergic to the latex. I have used them before and after sex i would become all itchy and irritated. It really is too much for me to handle. We haven't tried other types of condoms yet so i am considering that option. Are other types of condoms any less effective at preventing pregnancy than the traditional latex condoms though?

What are some of the safest and most effective forms of birth control?

I am really worried about taking something and messing up my sex drive, becoming more depressed, and messing with my menstral cycle.
