Is it safe to take the pill and a spermicidal suppository or film as added protection against pregnancy?

I would consider it safe to use another form of Birth Control along with the pill as long as it didn't contain hormones as the pill does. You don't want to put too many different hormones in your body. If you can buy it at a store without a prescription from a doctor, it's probably safe to take with the pill. But read the package just to be safe. It will say on the package not to take with the pill if it isn't safe.

If you use a spermicidal condom does some of the spermicide from the condom remain inside the female for a little while or does it just stop killing sperm one the condom is taken out of the female?
Some of the spermicide will remain in the female but not enough to protect against pregnancy once the condom is removed. Spermicidal condoms are being criticized for reducing protection against STDs--the spermicide makes cell membranes less resistant to infections.
Are condoms good enough as the only protection?
Apart from abstention they are the best protection against STDs. There are other alternatives for contraception such as spermicidal gels, IUDs, oral pills, sterilisation etc.
What will happen if you have an IUD and a condom gets stuck?
The IUD will provide the same protection against pregnancy. As usual, it won't provide protection against sexually transmissible infection.
Are condoms the best protection?
Depends. There are other methods that are more reliable WRT pregnancy. But condoms are the best protection against STDs.
Will missing two pills and then taking three in one day give you protection against pregnancy?
No. It will not. If you need emergency protection against pregnancy you need emergency contraceptives within 48 hours of the unprotected sex. This is also known as "The Morning After Pill" But doubling or tripling up will not protect you.
My doctor gave me miconazole vaginal suppository at 12 weeks of pregnancy is it safe?
There isn't a lot of info on how or if it effects a pregnancy. The doctor have to weigh the benefits and risks against each other. You should talk to your doctor to find out how he was thinking and then make your decision on whether you want to use it or not.

NuvaRing I know you're supposed to use protection the first week of NuvaRing but I was wondering if this is still necessary after the first month?
It is not necessary to use a backup method of birth control or extra protection after the first 7 days of using NuvaRing. However, always keep in mind that NuvaRing only protects against unwanted pregnancy and does not protect against STDs. Condoms are suggested for protection against STDs.
Do you think it is inconsistent with Protection against Pregnancy Discrimination Act?
Consider the following fictional scenario. The Commonwealth passes the Protection against Pregnancy Discrimination Act. This Act requires employers to treat pregnancy the same as any other disability. The NSW Parliament subsequently passes the Pregnant Employees' Leave Act which requires employers to give pregnant employees three months' paid maternity leave. There are no NSW laws requiring employers to provide paid leave to other employees who are temporarily unable to work. An employer channeling's the Pregnant Employees Leave Act (NSW) on the ground that it gives pregnancy preferential treatment and is therefore inconsistent with the Protection against Pregnancy Discrimination Act(Cth). Do you think it is inconsistent? Argue for your view, supporting your answer by reference to relevant feminist theories.
