Know Your Options

First things first, babe: get familiar with the buffet of birth control options out there. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Pills: Easy to use but require daily commitment.

  • IUDs: Β Long-term and low maintenance, available in hormonal and non-hormonal versions.

  • Implants:Β  Inserted under the skin, they release hormones gradually.

  • Patches: Stick them on your skin, change weekly.

  • Injections: Get a shot every three months.

  • Rings: Inserted in the vagina, replaced monthly.

  • Barrier Methods: Condoms, diaphragms, and sponges – no hormones involved.

  • Emergency Contraception: For those β€œuh-oh” moments, but not for regular use

Consider Your Lifestyle

Your daily routine plays a big role in your choice. Are you a globe-trotting adventurer or a homebody? Here’s what to think about:

  • Busy Bees: If you’re always on the go, long-term methods like IUDs or implants might be your best bet.

  • Routine Lovers: If you’re great with daily routines, pills could work perfectly.

  • Forgetful Folks: Consider patches, rings, or shots – less daily hassle.

Health and Comfort

Your health history matters, babe. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Hormonal Sensitivity: If hormones give you trouble, non-hormonal IUDs or barrier methods might be better.

  • Menstrual Benefits: Hormonal options can help with heavy periods and cramps.

  • Medical Conditions:Β Chat with your doc about your health to avoid complications.

Partner and Protection

If protecting against STIs is a priority, condoms are a must. They’re the only birth control method that also keeps you safe from infections.

Consult Your Doctor
