Condoms are great, but as you've experienced, they aren't foolproof. It's always safest to use two forms of birth control - like condoms AND the pill, the patch, inserts, shots, etc.

Basic info:

The pill is varied. Usually you take one pill a day, at the same time, throughout the entire month. There are different types of hormones and pills out there. This is a reliable method of birth control if you use it properly and can remember the daily tablet.

Shots - you can get birth control shots at your doctor's or local health care clinic. Most shots work for three months at a time; you go once, have the shot, and you're set until the next time. Shots can change your period, so make sure you have a conversation with your doctor about this.

The patch - Similar to the others. You simply apply a patch to your skin, and it helps manipulate your hormones and reduce the risk of pregnancy.

Inserts - there are two main types of inserts. Both are inserted through your vagina and remain inside you for a period of time. They slow-release hormones.

The idea behind all hormone-related birth control is to make your body not release an egg, and also sometimes to thicken your cervical mucus - which makes it harder for sperm to enter your womb. You need to see a specialist and have a conversation about what type of birth control would be best for you; they'll be able to offer you more detailed info that is tailored to fit your circumstances and life.

Finally, there IS a morning-after pill. It needs to be taken within a relatively short period after having sex. This is not recommended as a regular form of birth control. It's better to prevent mistakes that react in a panic afterwards.

Best of luck talking to your doctor!
