Diaphragms must be used with a contraceptive gel or cream that is placed inside the cup. So if a sperm gets around, it is killed by the spermicide layer of gel protecting your cervix. The worst part of the diaphragm for me, is that you have to plan to use it. It takes away from spontaneity. But no method is perfect.

Could you start saving up for the IUD and have your boyfriend contribute some to the cost also?
