Statistics, on birth control Options

[coconutter]

Alright, I know there's a million questions/topics on this, but I need reassurance. I'm a little freaked out by the statistics I read on planned parenthood about birth control. I want to try as hard as possible not to become one of those statistics. That's part of the reason why I want my mother in on this, although I can tell she's not comfortable, she hasn't even agreed yet, but I feel I can negotiate my way into it. I've even talked to my boyfriend about it, I love how we can be so open.

So, anyway what I'm trying to say is what's the most effective form of birth control, and which one's do you feel most comfortable with I read a lot of the methods, and I didn't know which was more comfortable/effective

Any help?

Just so you know, there is no 100 percent effective way to prevent pregnancy other than abstinence, so each method of birth control has its side-effects and whatnot.

Having said that, I've been on birth control pills and nothing has gone wrong with me, but if you're the forgetful type, well, you'll have to be unforgetful in order to take advantage of pills. It can stabilize your period, at least.

I've been on the shot, which is effective for up to three months. Due to a few circumstances, I wasn't even able to test out the effectiveness, so I can't tell you. However, I don't feel half-bad about the shot, so I will probably stick to this method in the future.
