Which birth control do YOU recomend?
Hello! My name is Sara, Im 22/F And am getting married in August. I want to start taking some form of birth control because my fiance and I want to wait befor we have kids for a while. Heres the low down,
-Both myself and my partner have waited to have sex until marrage, so as far as birth control goes I have NO idea what to expect....
-As luck will have it, i will most likely be getting my period the 28th...my weedding day..ugh so I am looking for a method that can possibly alter my menstal cycle by then...
-I dont particularly want a vaginal ring as im scared it could be felt by my husband durring sex (and I one of you girls has used it and it doesnt please let me know too!!)
-Im a scatter brain, I work 2 jobs and would have a tough time remembering to take a daily pill...but if that is the best option I will try my hardest to remember!!!
So yeah, anything that anyone has tried that seems to work the best and is less of a hastle and gives u fewer periods, PLEASE let me know your opinions!!!! Thank you!!!

As has been mentioned by other Advicenators, you should definitely talk to your doctor.
By my personal experience, I can tell you a bit, though. Here's what I've tried, and my results with each:
Birth Control Pill: I am terrible at holding a schedule. I tried timers, everything, but kept forgetting pills.
The Patch: Sounds good. You put it on and change it every week... not a hassle at all, right? It's great in theory. When I used it, the fabric part kept peeling off when I showered, so I'd have to replace it every couple of days. I talked to my doctor about it, and he suggested covering the area with saran wrap and taping it in place before showering. That was a no-go for me. No way am I putting that much effort into it!
The ring: Whatever you do, do NOT use the ring! I used it for a couple of months. I don't know about the guy feeling it, but I had real issues. It says that it "can increase the risk of vaginal infections". Little did I know that it meant I'd be in and out of the doctor's office for serious infections the whole time I was on it. It was the worst experience of them all.
Depo Provera: The shot was the last one I tried. It stops your period entirely. I didn't have to remember anything. It was entirely foolproof. I am now off of it, and here's the big catch with it. I've been off for a year now, and am JUST starting to get my period again. I'm extremely irregular, where I used to be able to say "Next Tuesday at 11:00 am". It can take over a year to regain full fertility. Also, using it for too long can lead to bone density loss (hence why I stopped). So really, it depends on whether or not you want to have children within the next 2 years or so, and on what your bone health is like.
Hope that helped!

I'm not trying to be rude with you, but you really shouldn't ask this here. It's not because we wouldn't love to help you because that's not the case.
We're just not your doctor, and your doctor will tell you what is best for you and your body when it comes to birth control. You should be asking them, not us.

Ok, please don't try using the "pull out" method.
Its doesn't work.
Just go onto birth control pills and use condoms if you really don't want to get pregnant.
You would really have to f*** up to mess those two up.
The problem is most people don't want to use condoms, and don't understand the pills. People always say "I got pregnant on the pill!" but its ussually because they don't follow the EXACT instructions. Like taking it the same time everyday.
Me and my fiance have been together for a year and a half, and have lots of sex. We only use birth control pills and have been fine, so adding a condom would definently cement it.

My advice if you dont want to take a pill is doing the shot. i have never done it but my sister and one of my friends have. depending on your doctors order normally you get the shot once every three months and you get your period once every three months which is a plus for sure! if you do the pill i would say ask for yaz. i was on it for a very long time and it worked great! hope i helped.
