I like to know if the use of condoms can provide full protection against unwanted pregnancy. I also like to know if total risk can be eliminated by properly handling and using the condoms to provide full protection against STDs.

Condoms are the only contraceptives that can provide full protection against unwanted pregnancy and STDs. However, the use of condom does not totally eliminate these risks because accidental slip off and breakage can occur. After ejaculation, always hold the base of the condom before withdrawing from vagina and avoid using any oil based lubricants on the condom as this can cause breakage.

I am experiencing cramping and bleeding with the use of IUD, is this a temporary side effect?
I had a copper iud inserted three weeks ago and just after two weeks of the insertion I had been experiencing cramps and bleeding. Is this the side effect from copper iud and is this temporary? I am 30 years old, I don’t have STDs and I never had a child. I am worried iud might not work out for me and that I could be pregnant since I have been sexually active with a partner?

Cramping and bleeding are some of the side effects associated with using IUD, other sided effects may also include abdominal pain and spotting. IUD should be use by women who are at least 25 years of age or older and the women should have given birth to at least one child. Also do a monthly check on the string after each menstrual period to be certain the string is the same length as when the device was first initially inserted.

Can oral contraceptives be as affective if you take it few hours late or if you missed a pill?
I am 20 years old and I’ve been in a sexual relationship with my boyfriend for over 4 months. I used birth control pill and sometime I took the pills few hours late and sometime I forgot to take my pill. I am just wondering whether oral contraceptives can be as effective when you take it few hours late sometime and if you missed a pill once or twice? I hope I am not pregnant because of this!

Oral contraceptives are meant to be taken every day at around the same time each day in order to be effective. If you missed a pill, take the next pill as soon as you remember and continue taking the pill each day at around the same time during the remainder of the cycle. If you missed a pill twice, consult with a physician for more professional advice as to what you should do next. Also try to use a backup method such as condoms for the extra protection.
