There are many types of contraception that could be a possiblity, best bet is to go and visit your doctor and they will be able to discuss all the options with you.
Examples that are not orally taken birth control pills are the IUD which is a small T-shaped contraceptive device made from plastic and copper that fits inside the womb (uterus). It used to be called a coil or a loop. This is just one of many types of birth control that is not a typical 'medicine'. However I do not know the exact ingredients or materials in any form of birth control so please visit your doctor and speak to them about your options.
This website should also help you too http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/Pages/Introduction.aspx
Look at the left side of the page and use the links to all the different types of birth control.
And dont worry about being nervous about seeing your doctor - they cannot tell your parents due to doctor/patient confidentiality, and they wont make a big deal out of your age. All they want is to prevent teen pregnancies, so they wont judge you - instead they will be happy to help.
I hope this helps and good luck!

If you don't feel comfortable asking him these question than obviously your not ready for sex. You have to be able to talk to your partner about personal things regarding condoms, ex sexual partners, STD's and if you just can't because you embarrassed than your not ready for sex this is a big responsibility and should hold on it because unfortunately in this time frame your life do depend on it.

If you have a history of allergies, then your best bet is to talk to a doctor about what your options are for medical forms of contraception. You may even want to talk to an immunologist (someone who specializes in allergies) because they may be able to give you a better answer than a doctor.
We're not qualified here to give you medical advice.

Honey, you are young, my advice to you is to wait. I was so anxious for my "first time" and I was your age as well. I have a 18 year old son now cause I didnt wanna wait. I am also "allergic". If you are going to, ask him to use a dearskin condom. It wont irritate you like normal latex ones. And if your "that worried" about extra protection, maybe thats your way of telling yourself, you know you should wait.

Could you speak to your GP? Or do you have any family planning centres near to where you live? My local hospital and walk-in centre run family planning clinics which can offer the sort of advice you need.
I think if you need medical advice you are best to speak to someone who is medically qualified. People on this forum cannot give you the sort of advice you need. If you have allergies you need to speak to a professional or you risk damaging your health.
Have a look at this website, it might give you some ideas
