Answer

<p>Good to hear that you&rsquo;re thinking about more reliable methods of birth control! You can buy multiple methods over-the-counter such as <a href="/method-explorer/condom/basic-info">condoms</a>, <a href="/method-explorer/internal-condom/basic-info">internal condoms</a>, <a href="/method-explorer/sponge/basic-info">the sponge</a>, and <a href="/method-explorer/spermicide/basic-info">spermicide</a>. However, the most effective methods are only available after a visit with the doctor, so we hope you&rsquo;ll think about making an appointment. At the very least it&rsquo;s good to be getting annual exams when you&rsquo;re sexually active. <br><br> Try searching for low costs clinics, if you don&rsquo;t have insurance coverage. And while you&rsquo;re there for the appointment, you might as well talk with your provider about your birth control options, right? </p>
