Birth control & Danazol08/04/2008 |
I was recently started on Danazol for pelvic pain that gets very severe. I just got accepted into my post secondary program and I am terrified of becoming pregnant. I was told by my gynecologist that I could still become pregnant on Danazol. Is there any kind of birth control that is safe to use while on Danazol? I can`t use condoms because of a latex allergy.
After 4-6 weeks of Danazol therapy, ovulation usually stops. Then it would be very unlikely that you could become pregnant.However, as a back up, there are some latex-free condom:
Trojan Supra- Non-latex
Lifestyles SKYN (polyisoprene) condoms
Both are FDA approved.
