Birth control problems - Birth Control Message Board

Okay, so im trying to find an effective form of birth control for me and my girlfriend

Condoms- Male- I have anxiety problems and the period between me getting hard, and the condom heading for my penis, kills it
Female- has to be in advance, im not always in the mood

Pill - girlfriend has had cervical cancer in the past, and is a smoker

If anyone could suggest some other methods?

i've heard suggested a natural method that says afte her period she hasnt released an egg yet and its safe, how much truth is in this?

also is there a male pill? i've heard it mentioned? or still in development?

Your girlfriend needs to talk to her doctor before going on any type of birth control pill since she's had cancer. That would probably rule out most of hormonal birth control menthods such as pills and the patch. Mirena comes to mind (plastic T shaped device that is inserted into the uterus and lasts for about 5 years)... but than again I don't know whether or not that would be safe for her. She really needs to talk to a doctor and figure out the best method.

There is no such thing as a male pill... at least not at this time - maybe someday in the future there will be but probably not any time soon.
