i use levlite birth control pills. i haven't had any side effects. i also always use a condom. i know so many people walking around who's mom was on the pill with them. use all the forms of birth conrol availible to u. don't take any chances. yeah, putting a condom on in the heat of the moment is inconvenient, but so is a baby! using a condom doesn't feel as good, but having a baby definetly doesn't feel good! use your brain. good luck.

Not all birth control will make you gain weight. It just depends on your personal body. I've been on the pill for 3 years and have not had any weight gain. The pill is most effective if you take it at the same time each day, which is not hard, especially if you get up around the same time each day. My particular brand is Estrostep. A friend of mine uses the Birth Control Ring, which is inserted by a gynocologist every month. She also has had no weight gain and really likes the convenience of only worrying about it once a month.
Your best buy is to try them out to see if you like it, everyone is different and their body will react differently to every method. But always double up with a condom to prevent diseases.

Use condoms (they are 99.9999999% effective the same as the pill) and spermicide. They are cheap, they are easy and they work!
IUD is a piece of plastic that they put in your uterus that irritates the lining preventing the egg from attaching to the wall and forming a child. But it does NOT stop the egg getting fertilized and you can still get pregnant only the baby will form in the Fallopian tube instead.
The injections work the same as the pill but because it is a 3 month dose all at once, you may not get your period for months (maybe even years) while you are on it.

I would just take the shot. It seems like the easiest form of birth control. But be sure to use condoms to. Birth control (pills or a shot) don't protect against sexually transmitted diseases. A lot of people say that condoms ruin the mood, but let me tell you a screaming baby with a loaded diaper doesn't just ruin the mood it KILLS it!

Both the IUD and Depo make you gain mad weight, weight you cannot loose while you continue to use the method. They totally made me crazy and depressed too. Try Diaphram and spermacide paired with a condom. Then at least you can avoid the hormonal drawbacks.
