I would say the IUD is the best... only beacuse I got pregnant with my daughter when I was on the pills & I got pregnant with my son while I was on Depo... The IUD gets inserted in u'r uterus & You can have it taken out anytime you want... There is 2 main types of IUD: Para guard is good for 12 years (http://www.paragard.com/paragard/index.php), Mirena is good for 5 years (http://www.mirena-us.com/index.jsp)
Levonorgestrel (LNg) IUD. The levonorgestrel (LNg) IUD, also known as Mirena, releases levonorgestrel, which is a form of progestin. The LNg IUD appears to be even more effective at preventing pregnancy than the copper IUD. Also, unlike other IUDs, it may decrease the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The LNg IUD is effective for at least 5 years.
The most commonly used IUD is the Copper T 380-A (Para gard). Copper wire is wound around the stem of the T-shaped IUD. The Copper T 380-A can stay in place for at least 10 years and is a highly effective form of contraception (less than 1% chance of pregnancy in the first year, and the chance gets lower with time).

Birth control pills/patch WITH condoms and spermacide. There are NO birth control methods on the market these days that are 100% effective other than abstention. I am living proof that the pill alone does not ALWAYS work even if taken correctly at the same time of day everyday. I got pregnant TWICE on birth control pills.

I have personally tried almost every birth control method out there - the depo shot, pills, the patch, the ring... etc. I preferred the ring but everyone is different. Talk to the doctor about your options and what would be best for you. If you find that you start something and don't like it, you can always swtich.

The most effective?
The woman takes birth control pills, and the man uses condoms.
The chances of pregnancy happening, assuming that you use both correctly (take BC at the same time every day, condom worn right, etc) are EXTREMELY unlikely. Near impossible.
If you're really paranoid, use both of those AND take the morning-after pill (available over-the-counter now) if the condom ever breaks.

Well for me since I hate to remember to have to take pills. I got on the Depo Provea shot some women say they have bad side effects but I didnt notice any. It last I think around 3 months or so. Ask your obgyn about it.

Consdiering using two forms of birth control at the same time - talk to your doctor about it. My wife and I starting using the IUD but that only helped for about a year, then oops.
Trust me, you want to be ready when the baby comes along.

PILLS! if you go for the depo shot consider all side effects... I went on it and lost a lot of hair, i mean a lot. It would make me sick to my stomach how much I could brush out in one sitting.

I would go w/ the Depo Provera Shot. It worked great and also cut down on my periods. Good luck and Congratulations!

See your gynocologist. there are many options: BC pills, patch, the shot etc. Your doc can let you know which method may be better for you depending on your lifestyle etc.
