Any birth control has benefits and potential dangers. The most effective is not having sex but I understand that this is not always what people chose to do. Briefly, the pill is effective but only if you take it daily. The ring (goes into the vagina and around the cervix) is pretty effective. Condoms are pretty good but do require that they be used and they are more effective if used in conjunction with a spermicide jelly or foam. Condoms will prevent most of the STD's that are out there by their barrier status. Please be very careful about having sex without a barrier - many STD's can render you unable to have a child when you want to and some can end your life. You don't know who has what and can't tell for MANY of them. If you are with someone, please tell them that you care about them and both of you should go to the doctor or Health Department for testing before having relations. IUD's are coming back and they don't prevent conception but do prevent some implantations. If you are against abortion - this one walks the line in my book. Please do some research about the best form of contraception for you and your partner. Your doctor or Health Department or Family Planning Clinic will have unlimited resources for you to make the right choices. Take care!

Not having sex at all. But since you are assking this I'm guessing that that is going to be irrelavent to you so I'd say the pill would prolly be the best. The ring is okay but I personaly have no experiance to recamend it on. The patch has problems to say the least and the shot alo seems to have some dramatic side affects. It's just a matter of finding the right pill for you and that is between you and our doctor and not something any of us can help you with. So make an appointment with your gynocologist and talk to him/her about your options. Condoms are also a smart choice to go with the pill as a back-up method, but not alone because they can rip/slip off.

I use the pill. You do have to take it at the same time everyday though. I set an auto. alarm for mine. I like to see that I am physically taking the pill. With nuva ring and such, I feel odd not acutally seeing it, I fear it may slip out or some how not work right. The shot depo pervera can cause some to gain weight or bleed for a month straight. But people's bodies are different.
Talk to your doctor and he/she can help you decide what is best for your situation. But remember, pills, depo, and the ring, ect, do not protect against std's. You must use a condom for that.

Birth control should be something that is perscribed by a doctor so that they can determine what the right type is for YOU. There is not an all over best brand - it depends.

the only birth control that's 100% effective is abstinence. that is don't have sex at all. the pill is very good, if you remember to take it every day. there are others that are good, too. ask your doctor, since you need a prescription for most of them.

Abstinence. but if you insist I'd use more than one form..i.e a condom and the pill. Condoms break and the pill doesn't protect from disease. Be smart whatever decision you make.

Depends. I'm assuming you still want to have sex, right?
good quality condom and the pill. Anything else is a bonus.
