NOTHING is 100% effective and you always run the risk of getting pregnant. The only Birth Control is the pill or patch and there are a lot of long-term side effects from this. This problem has always been a blight to women and scientists would come up with more options for birth control for men only they'd forget to take it. LOL

Is spermicidal foam a non-prescription contraception?
In the US, spermicidal foam is available without a prescription. It is not a very effective contraceptive on its own, but is effective when used with condoms or other forms of contraception.
If lubricant doesn't mean spermicide then why when i asked earlier you said only lubricated condoms have spermicide?
Because a lubricant (makes things slippery) so a condom may be lubricated but not kill sperm (spermicide) BUT all spermicidal condoms are also lubricated.
Can i get pregnant while using a lubricant?
Yes, lubricant is not a contraceptive in it's own right. There are lubricants which include a spermicidal agent (something to kill sperm.) They are very unreliable on their own but can improve the reliability of other barrier methods such as condoms or caps.
Birth control method?
There are several birth control methods out there. However, the only 100% effective method is abstainance, as condoms can have holes in them, he might not pull out in time, and pills don't always work.
Can using spermicidal lubrication make you miss your period?
In a roundabout way, yes. Spermicidal lubricant isn't particularly effective in preventing pregnancy. http://www.contraceptivetechnology.org/table.html There's an 18-29% chance that you're pregnant. I guess someone should have showed you that table a few months ago. Sorry about that. Sex Ed in school is notoriously abysmal, and your mistake is understandable. If you're pregnant, you stop menstruating. So therefore, yes, technically, a spermicidal lubricant can stop your cycle.
How do you prepare a anus for penetration?

How likely is a girl to get pregnant if she's on birth control and her boyfriend pulls out?
Condoms, though not perfect, are generally pretty effective at preventing pregnancy. If used correctly, I wouldn't worry about impregnating a girl while wearing a condom. However, it is always a good idea to use a condom with spermicidal lubricant. You can buy the kind that already have spermicidal lubricant on them, or you can buy a tube of the spermicide separately. To be effective, the girl must be certain to apply the spermicide to her internal vagina prior to any sexual contact and to squirt it as far in as she can. I know it doesn't sound sexy but it's better to be safe than sorry right? It is applied this way because it's not effective just to smear your penis with it. The package should tell you if you have more questions about how to apply spermicide, or ask your pharmacist don't be shy. It's also better to be embarrassed and safe than sorry. Oh, and remember: CONDOMS ARE NOT AN EFFECTIVE GUARD AGAINST SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES.
