hi, i had to stop the pill because my mother had 2 strokes (she is only 37) while taking a hormone pill, and now that i have a family history of stroke i feel i probably shouldnt take the pill anymore. the thing is, i have 2 kids, my DD is 2 and my son is 7 months old, i am not ready to call it quits on kids permanently (although i think i am probably done) my husband and i are only 20 and 21 years old.

what type of non hormonal BC have you tried with effective results?

i was considering the cervical cap (its like a diaphram you put in before intercourse.)
