I have an allergy to: If you have an allergy to latex, there are nonlatex condoms. Some condoms do not have spermicide - many people have bad reactions to spermicide. If you have an allergy to corn/ corn starch or baby powder - many condoms do not have this - read the package ingredients. Diaphragms and cervical caps can be purchased in material other than rubber if requested. Lubrication can have perfume or flavoring in it that a person can be allergic to. Nononxydal-9 has recently been demonstrated to actually make you more likely to get HIV from an infected partner and not less - many condoms manufacturers nolonger use it.

Pregnancy kits were originally designed to help people who wanted to be pregnant. If you use a pregnancy detection kit be sure to follow the directions very carefully.
