Re: birth control

caps are really good - you don't need spermicide as they say - though they are 100% effective - some people team them with non spermicidal condoms (spermidices have nasty chemicals and if things don't go as planned can contribute to birth defects).
The Billings method is great if you can track your cycle and for those who can't so well the saliva microscopes are great - lots of info online - type in natural birth control into Google search engine.

There are some innovative alternatives to the cap online from various materials and in various forms. Not sure about usage or success. Try it and let us know!

I would not reccomend IUDs - the metals and other elements can really affect you whole body.

Invasive surgeries are also very disruptive to the whole body if they are not necessary.

Oh - there is another device I saw in Europe called Persona which like the microscope keeps trakc of your fertile days through urine test strips - meant ot be very good.

The book on the Billings method is very good.

......oh and have fun testing them out!
