What is thee best and strongest birth control?

The pill, the contraceptive implant and the contraceptive injection are all over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. However, the advantage of the implant or the injection compared to the pill is that you don't have to remember to take a pill every day. If you don't take the pill correctly, at roughly the same time every day, it is less effective. The pill is also more likely to cause mood swings and depression. The implant is about the size of a hair grip, (4cm long), and is inserted under the skin of your arm with local anaesthetic. Once it's in, it usually works for three years, but it can be removed any time if you change your mind. The injection lasts around 12 weeks, and it cannot be reversed, so if you do experience side-effects, you just have to wait for it to wear off. It's more likely to make you gain weight, and there is some evidence that it can cause bone-thinning.

Your other option would be a progesterone-only pill, which is like the regular pill except that it doesn't contain oestrogen, so it may have fewer side-effects. Of course, no contraceptive is 100% effective, and ONLY condoms protect you against STI's so it's a good idea to keep using condoms even when you're using hormonal birth control for extra protection.

Birth control is different for everyone, you need to go to your doctor and discuss what would work best for you. What is good for someone else, may not have the same effect. Hope this helped.

The best one for me may not be the best one for you, which is why your doctor will tell you what is best for you. And if there are problems with the first one, which sometimes happens, then the doctor will switch you to another one. It is good to read up on all of them and be familiar before your doctor visit so you will be able to understand what the doctor is talking about.

I have an IUD. According to the enclosed info, it's more effective than a vasectomy.
