Beyond the Pill and NuvaRing: Natural Birth Control Options that Work

Natural, effective birth control does exist! These methods won't mess with your hormones (so you'll keep your libido, fertility, and sanity intact).

When it comes to choosing birth control, there's no "perfect" solution (we wish there was!) Most methods have at least one drawback - whether it's that they require pre-planning, periods of abstinence, or the possibility of decreased sensation.

It's all about finding the method that has pros and cons that make sense for you and your lifestyle.

In this episode of Red Tent Sisters TV we'll give you the low-down on different options, including:

  1. The most recent stats on the efficacy of withdrawal (you may be shocked!)

  2. Why we love Fertility Awareness

  3. How to use a cervical cap

  4. The truth about how many days you can conceive per cycle

  5. How to "double-up" to increase efficacy (and no, we don't mean two condoms!)

Resources to help you explore your contraceptive options:

Eco-Contraception: Our most popular program for learning the Justisse Method of Fertility Awareness.

The Caya Diaphragm: Health Canada approved diaphragm (no prescription or fitting required).
