What Are My Options?
Whichever birth control options you choose, keep in mind that the most effective and appropriate types of birth control can fail if you're not able to make a consistent, ongoing commitment to using them. Whether your regimen is something you'll take daily, like a pill, or use only as needed, like a diaphragm, its success depends on you. Make sure you fully understand the birth control options available and how and when to use the method you have chosen.
