Consult your Dr to see what best fits your lifestyle and future plans. I have been on Depo Provera for almost 5 years with great success and no horror stories like one of the other posters.

Whatever you do DO NOT get on Depo Provera !!!!
I gained 80 lbs in 6 months and my friend lost all of her hair !!!
Ortho try Cyclen Lo is really good, thats what I take and theres no side affects at all for me...
either that or an IUD if you want to get that, they put it in your cervix and leave it there for 5 years... It's nice not to have to worry about it for that long.. And when your ready for a baby just got to your Doc and they'll pop it right out :]
If all else fails, use condoms !!!

how old are you in the first place? because a matured person knows every thing to do with contracerptions, or other wise how did you find out about sex and pregnancy if you are a child. ask your parents or teacher, they are more good at discussing sex wth children than any body else.

See a doctor. Woman have more choices then man, in this respect so go with her to gynaecologist.
At least two method should be used to improve the odds.
