A list of all available contraceptives ad side effects, please add anything I miss

The Pill (combined pill)
Advantages: can stop any time, usually regulates AF,
Disadvantages: Have to remember to take it every day at around the same time (or within twelve hours of regular time), can cause bloating and weight gain, Links made to breast cancer. Much greater risk of developing DVT (blot clots) ESP in women who smoke.

The Mini Pill
Advantages: Safe for BFing
Disadvantages: not as reliable as combined pill, Have to remember to take it every day AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME and also has a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy associated with its use (!)

What about those sponge thingies you pop up your hoohaa that have the hormones in them (not sure what they're called)?

Also want to put a word in for the latex-free condoms - MUCH better sensation and less irritation (for those who are prone) than the regular variety.

Abstinence

Advantages: 100% effective
Disadvantages: Not much fun

IUS - I spotted for less than 2 weeks and then never had another bleed until it fell out when I had a really heavy period.
