Together with my fiancée, we don't know what contraception to use. Fiancée (26), 4 years old, has insulin-dependent type I diabetes. What kind of contraception should I use? The fiancée wants to try the spiral, even though she was not pregnant yet. We are afraid of pills because they affect blood clotting. Are there alternatives to condoms?
Diabetes mellitus type 1 - like all diabetes, requires special preparations and arrangements before conception, so it is really worth protecting yourself against unplanned pregnancy.
Both hormonal contraception and IUD require consultation with a doctor, which I advise you to do because both of these methods are the most effective. Besides them, there are:
- natural methods, described in many popular science publications for women, and in the pharmacy you can buy devices that make their use very easy
- a female condom is available; without a prescription, available at the pharmacy
- vaginal chemicals are available for purchase at a pharmacy without a prescription
-. a contraceptive cap is available, also available without a prescription, only you need to know the diameter and it is better to consult a doctor about this.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
