My girlfriend is planning to lose her verginity in around three weeks, when I'll be visiting her -- she lives abroad. Despite she is scared to get pregnant at this time,she doesn't want to take any birth control pills! I'm wearing condom, I'd like to know what is the best birth of control method to combine with condom, except the pill, to get max safe rates. She's 29. She doesn't like to get any exams (pelvic etc...). I am considering 'Ortho Evra' (birth control patch); would it be ok? does she need to start wearing it a few weeks in advance for it to be effective? Anyway, any advice is welcome
