What is the BEST birthcontrol to use?

I'm going to doctor tomorrow would like to know which birth control pill and if the patch is better? and which makes your gain less weight, big boobs etc?
Answer:
Unfortunately, there's no one best birth control for everyone, or there would be only one birth control available. Because we all have different body chemistry, we all react differently to different pills. The pill that was great for your Mom or sister or best friend may not be a good fit for you.

Any hormonal birth control has the possibility to cause the same set of side effects, good and bad. This can include menstrual changes (often lighter, shorter periods), headaches, weight loss or weight gain (about the same number of women lose weight on the pill as gain weight, and the weight gain is typically under five pounds), mood changes, breast growth or tenderness and more.

I could tell you that I lost weight when I started taking lo-ovral, for example, or had miserable migraines on Zovia, but that won't tell you anything about what might happen to you on either of those pills, nor does it make one pill good and the other bad-simply, it means that one of those pills was a good fit for me, and another wasn't.

The best thing to do is to look at the list of possible side effects from hormonal birth control, consider what your lifestyle is (are you able to remember to take a pill each day at the same time every day, for example) and which side effects you could and couldn't live with. Then, speak to your doctor or health care provider who will be able to consider what he or she knows about your health history, lifestyle, and willingness to cope with different side effects and choose a pill that may be a good fit for you. Remember that it takes about three months to find out whether or not a pill is a good fit for you-it takes about that long for your body to get used to a pill, and for side effects to go away.

Good luck.
trinity this is easy. just put a clothespin on the end of your man's pecker. no worries
abstinence is the best. your doctor will tell you which pill or whatever is best for you. no one else can really tell you which to use.
Try the right lover and abstention
I use the Patch (Ortho Evra)..its very simple actually, you stick it on and it looks like a big band aid or a nicotine patch..and you forget about it..change it 3 weeks in a row, week 4 no patch and pms arrives..its rather simple..and easy..

much less hassle then having to constantly take a pill daily..
i take enough pills, allergy meds, head ache meds..etc etc.. don't need to take one more and feel like a druggy hahaha..

Its up to you of course if u want hassle or something quick, simple and easy. :)
I have been on birthcontrol for about 15 years. My favorite has been the generic version of Seasonale. You still have to take a pill every day, but you only have a period every three months. To me that has been the greatest benefit. It hasn't seemed to cause any excess weight gain.
If you are looking for anything long term then I would reccommend the IUD. It isn't totally uncomfortable when it gets put in and you don't have to worry about it for 5 years! So much better than taking pills everyday! And-there are no side effects! I've had it for 1 year and have had no problems thusfar. Good luck!
