There are a variety of birth control options available to women to protect them against unwanted pregnancy. However, only condoms offer protection against sexually transmitted disease. Some methods are easier to reverse in the future if you decide you want a planned pregnancy. To determine which method is best for you, you should consider the effectiveness, side affects, cost, and convenience.
The Women's Med Center offers Depo-Provera®, birth control pills, Ortho Evra® (the patch) and NuvaRing®. All are very effective.
Other reversible birth control options are intrauterine devices, Implanon® (progestin inplant), condoms and spermicides. Tubal ligation, tubal occlusion and vasectomy are methods that are permanent.
