I am getting married in less than 6 months and I need to know what types of birth control are out there.?

If someone could at least tell me where I can find information before I go to my OBGYN or knows the facts, that would be great!

    That's what your doctor is for. He or she can help you decide what is right for you. What method you use has to be a personal decision, based on your current health, how soon you might want to have children, your lifestyle, religion, etc. The methods you can choose from include hormonal, barrier, natural, sterilization (obviously not if you are planning a family). Within each of these methods are various choices. Your doctor can guide you to what will work best for you, at this time. Good luck.

    There are many different kinds of birth control for different types of people since our bodies aren't all the same.

    Just go to your OBGYN and let him/her decide what would be best for you.

    I personally take YAZ because it regulates my periods to where they're more predictable and it makes the moodiness go away and where I'm not all bi-polar-like lol

    There are many types. You have hormone methods, barrier methods. A good resource is the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology aka (ACOG).
