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?

Well, I just recently had a nurse midwife come into my class for Health Care Tech and here is what she had to say about birth control...

Birth control pills, depo, and I believe IUD are one of the safest forms of birth control out there aside from abstaining from sex altogether.

And for a condom..
When you're JUST using a condom, it is only 60% effective protecting against pregnancy.
However, if you use a condom with a spermicide it is about 95-99% effective.

And if you have any unprotected sex, get the emergency contraception pill (not to be confused with the abortion pill as they are two different things) because it will decrease getting pregnant by 85% when taken within 5 days.

Just my two cents :]
