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? rolleyes.gif

I have tried just about every birth control pill out and they make me sick and crazy. My pharmacist/boss said that he had never seen someone react so negatively to birth control. I can't function when I am on it. I puke, I cry every 5 minutes, in between crying sessions I am irrationally angry, my skin starts to peel off. It's lame, but it has never made me gain wait because I am too sick to eat.
I also tried the patch, but it always slid around in the shower. I could get back to where it was, but I was always scared of getting pregnant while I was on it.
I will not try the depo shot because you can only be on it for a year before you have to start getting calcium shots as well.
IUDs are more for women that have had children, and I don't think you fall into that catagory.
They also have an implant that goes into your arm. It's the same hormones that are in the depo shot but at a lower dose. It is effective for 3 or 5 years. I can't really recall. It a little plastic looking stick and you can sort of feel it if you rub your arm, and I knew that would drive me crazy.
There is also an implant you put in your underarm.
I work at a pharmacy and a lot of girls LOVE their nuva-rings.
I think I am going to try that next. thumbsup.gif

Out of all of those the depo shot along with the implants are the most effective. I would recommend always using condoms to increase efficiency. Kudos to you for educating yourself thumbsup.gif
