There's always the "pull out method," but that is very risky. Your best bet is a condom if you can't use the pill because of not being able to get them or something, because condoms can be bought in a regular store. Hope this helped~

As you know, postinor 1 is only emergency contraception, used if condom failed or forgotten or the gal has missed too many days of taking her daily pill to know if she is still protected against unwanted pregnancy. It should not be relied on for a females regular contraception. Condoms are okay but for some reason you don't want them used, perhaps a latex allergy. And by family planning, I assume you are refering to all the contraceptives on the market. There are some basic types but names for some like the pills can vary.
Here's a website by Planned Parenthood that covers all the types of birth control. Please read all details on each to be well informed.

There are hormonal birth control and non hormonal birth controls.
On the hormone based types, there are the various pills, Deepo Provera the shot good for 3 mos, a patch that releases hormones as worn, the Today birth control sponge, the Nuva ring, the Mirena IUD and implantations under the skin of upper arm good for 3 years
If the female ends up with too many side effects/reactions to hormonal contraception, she needs to focus on non hormonal types which include the female condom, diaphragm used with spermicide, the Fem cervical cap, The Paragard Copper IUD good for 7-10 years or so.
Another consideration besides allergic reactions as to which to choose, is how well you are at remembering to take a daily pill or go in for an appt. every 3 months on the shot. If you miss a day or several day scattered thru the mo, you risk getting pregnant because there isn't enough hormone in your system.
Cost is another concern if paying out of pocket. If you have insurance, check to see what types of birth control they cover.
Effectiveness in preventing pregnancy is another consideration. Please pay close attention to the statistics on this when you read up on them.
When I was in child bearing years, the Paragard IUD, expensive initial cost, was covered under my insurance. This item in my opinion is the most cost effective if you can get it, since it is good for so many years that is the up front cost was calculated at monthly cost for many years, it ends up costing way less than other forms of birth control. It is carefree, there is no prepping ahead of time to insert any device nor any remembering needed to pack it and take along everywhere just in case opportunity presents itself or the mood hits. It is one of the highest/most effective at preventing pregnancy and if using only the copper IUD, instead of a hormone laced type like Mirena, there are no hormones in your body messing things up for trying to get pregnant the day it's removed. Hope this answers your question.
