What do you think is the best form of birth control?

Answer 1

It's diffrent for everyone, but no matter what form of birth control you are on, I'd advise you to continue using a condom, as birth control is not 100 percent effective.

The pill is most common, I think. It's fairly simple, as long as you can remember to take it around the same time every - EVERY - day. Of course, if you miss one or two days you can make up for it, but for the pill to be most effective, you should remember to take it everyday.

The patch is like a nicotine patch. you place it on an area of your body, usually on your lower belly, lower back/bottom, or your shoulder/back area. You change it once a week and can do all of your regular activities with it and it won't come off. From my experience, it sometimes moves around a little, leaving a sticky residue that collects peices of fabric - like when you have a bandaid.

The shot is given at your doctor's office (or Planned Pregnancy or Family Planning Center) and is taken every three months. It is the most hassel free, as far as I'm concerned, as you only have to take it once every three months. Some common side effects are weight loss/gain and loss of your cycle.

There is also an IUD, which is a small device placed in your cervix. It's a T shape and has a string hanging down. it's placed by a doctor and you leave it in until the doctor takes it out - when you say so. It's supposed to be unnoticeable during sex. i've never tried it, but I hear some side effects are cramping, lower back ache and bleeding around the time when it's first placed.

There's also the Vaginal Ring, which you place in your vagina and it stays for three weeks. It releases a small amount of hormones.

There may be other types of birth control you'd want to look into, such as female condoms. Just remember, Birth control - other than abstinence and condoms - do NOT protect against STDs!

Answer 2

Birth Control is anything preventing birth. This means before conception and after. "Birth Control" can also mean murder. "It makes me mad how people try to label it black and white" . "Yeah, they say just make it a woman's right" The truth seems to be how far will we let women get. Abortion is not a womans right. You may call it a fetus or whatever. It is a life started. How can we tear a concieved baby out of a womans womb and not call it murder? A woman does not have a right to end a life that has aready started. Rape is not a good reason. The child had nothing to do with this. Why tear the child out? If you want an abortion , give the child up for adoption instead.

Answer 3

There are pros and cons for every form of birth control. Condoms are great in that they also protect against STDs, you can stop using them whenever you want, and they don't have side effects (unless you're allergic to latex). But they can break, and they do dull the sensation, and you have to remember to have them with you, etc. Same goes for the female condom. The pill can work, it is very effective and can make your cycle easier to deal with, but they can make you gain weight, or feel moody, and you have to remember to take them, and you shouldn't smoke while you're on them. Also, they don't protect from STDs. Same goes for the patch and the NuvaRing. Depo can cause bone loss, and it can be nerve wracking to not get periods if you tend to worry about pregnancy. Also, you can't quit suddenly if you want to. Still no STD protection. Barrier methods (diaphragm and cervical cap) are less effective, no STD protection, you have to get fitted for them, and they have to be accounted for time-wise (they have to go in a certain amount beforehand and be out by a certain time after). Certain spermicides may actually make you more vulnerable to certain STDs, and spermicide alone isn't very effective. Only certain women are eligible for IUDs, and they have to be inserted by a doctor. Tubal Ligation is permanent and requires a somewhat invasive procedure, while Essure is permanent and less invasive.

Essentially, you have to pick what works best for you based on your budget, ability to remember things, and personal situation. I like the pill, but I've been on it for 10 years now.

Answer 4

The best form of birth control:

1. Lie down face up. Bend knees.
2. Place condom, or package of BC pills between knees.
3. Squeeze knees tightly together.
4. Keep knees tightly together, especially when males are nearby.

Works like a charm.

Answer 5

Abstinence

Answer 6

Well most people would say Abstinace but if you were going to then y would you ask? I would say condoms. Birthcontrol pills can be helpful but they dont stop viruses and doesnt always work so i would defaintly say condoms

Answer 7

by far the shot. it's given every 3 months so theres no forgetting a pill and it is over 99% effective

Answer 8

+I suppose Abstinence. That's the only 100% method. Sorry, I know that's never much fun but it's true.++

Answer 9

The pill..if you can remember to take it everyday. Personally I don't see how girls can forget. oh yea use condoms with the pill

Answer 10

not having any kind of sex at all or playing with each other near her opening
