Another great choice is the IUD. The newest info on how it works to prevent pregnancy makes it a more attractive choice than it was before this info came out.(Now felt that it does not prevent implantation, but rather does actually prevent conception. See R. Hatcher's book "Contraceptive Technology Today"). Unfortunatly, nothing is 100% except abstainence(and that is not usually an option!). Bari Creager,CNM College Station,TX
