My current method of contraception is grouchy non-voluntary abstinence. Being a single mama of 2 is an amazingly effective method.
I kid (mostly). Every kind of pill I've been on has been horrorshow with the migraines and the ZOMG THE WORLD IS ENDING depression. Nonoxynol-9 inflames my bits in agonizing and unfun ways. The lube on latex condoms seems to have a similar effect, though I noticed it far less with the polyurethane condoms and not at all with unlubed latex.
FAM was good to me, and even though I'm nowhere near sexually active with another human being, I still track my cycles (though not temps - my sleep habits are too wonky for the temp measurements to be accurate).
Best choices for me would be FAM + unlubed condom and/or a partner who doesn't make sperm.
