i am a 30 yr old mother of 2 who has been on the pill since i was 15 and have recently stopped due to the fact that i get headaches more often than not and want to see if going off will lessen the severity and frequency. So my question is what are some effective ways to prevent pregnancy without hormones an iud or condoms.  Not that i am against these methods but i have heard horror stories about iud's and i dont think my husband would appreciate using condoms.
