Let me add that no form of birthcontrol is absolutely, positively without failure rate. Many are very good, but all still fail on occasion. I have delivered babies conceived by women who took their birth control pills faithfully, women who swear their diaphragm never moved, the condom never broke, whose tubes were tied, even one whose husband's vasectomy failed. (as proven by a sperm count and a trip to the urologist) This is an unpopluar position to take, but if pregnancy is absolutely, positively unfathomable to you right now, the only guaranteed protection is absolutely no genital/genital contact, even being careful with genital/hand/genital contact. Also know as abstinence...no one has ever died from not having sex, as harsh as it may sound. Sometimes your future may be worth denying yourself the pleasure, but only you would know if this is the case or not.
