Hi
Great question and great answers.
The greatest thing to prevent during intercourse, is the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases!
So any contraceptive method you choose needs to include condoms espcailly if you are not in a monogamous realtionship.
The neuvo ring is a nice option for birth control. It has few side effects, easy to insert and has a great success rate.
There are birth control patches but they must be put on in places where there is fat, and tend to come off with swimming and showering. They are supose to stay on for 7 days. The side effects are less than taking oral contraceptive pills.
Depro provera is a good method of birth control, but it has a high risk for bone loss. Yes your bones wll become weaker if you use this method over a long period of time. Research has shown that women who use this method for an extended period of time can have up to 15% of bone loss which they cannot recover not matter what kind of bone mineralization pills they take.
The IUD is a good method of birth control. It is a copper/coated 'T' shaped object, very thin, that the doctor inserts into your uterus and can stay there for several years. I used mine for 3 year periods and had them taken out when I wanted to get pregnant. The main side effect can be heavier periods. But otherwise most report not ever knowing they had one it. BUT you must use condoms ot prevet STDs for all the methods.
Birth control pills are very convinient if you remember to take them EVERY day. But they have many serious side effects and should be discussed with your doctor. A physical and blood tests should be taken before starting on the pill. Also a family history of of blood clots should be noted. TWO things you must NOT do while on the BCP is smoke and do other durgs. The combinations could be fatal. Yea, I do not like this option, but you have to consider all the options.
MEN you are responsible to use condoms at all time no matter that the girl says she is protected. You do not know that she does not have a STD....do you want to share that too?
Be safe with your sexual practices..... and enjoy.

Use Nuvaring. Its a ring you insert leave for three weeks then take it out. Its birth control without having to take a pill everyday. There's also an IUD. You doctor inserts it through a procedure, and it stays put for 5 years.
At 21 u should still use condoms b/c none of these protect againest STD's.

Your best bet would be to talk to your doctor to see what would be the best for you. I am assuming that you are married or in a monogamous relationship to not be concerned with condoms. Right?
