Serious risks are different for each kind of birth control, the nuva ring, the pill, the shot, etc... They are very uncommon though.. It's worth it, don't worry abotu the side affects, they affect hardly any people.

Obviously birth control will prevent you from getting pregnant in the immediate future! (After all that's what it's for!)
The birth control options that are out on the market now have all been through rigorous testing so that it will not damage your chances of concieving in the future.
That said, people's bodies all react differently to different types of birth control.
The "pill" has many different types and they say that if you have been using the pill and would like to become pregnant then it normally takes a month of so to get out of your system. That said I have a firend who has been trying for a baby for 18 months now who had to wait a year to see a fertility specialist because she had previously been on the pill.
If you are consdiering getting pregnant in the next 2 years then i PERSONALLY (this is not a medical opinion, just mine!) would stick to using barrier contraception, such as condoms.
I would also advise anyone from using the contraceptive implant as in my PERSONAL (again, I am not a doctor) experience it is terrible! Gave me mood swings, bad skin and made me put on weight!
The best thing you can do is to go and see your doctor, he/she will be able to tell you what the options are and answer any questions you have about the medication you will be using!
