My boyfriend are 19 ( me soon 20) virgins dating for 18 months now.
we have been talking about sex for over a year now. I want to be on birth control but with all the choices and the pros and cons I'm confused.
I have researched and researched to figure our what birth control is best for me but no matter how much info I'm still torn.
I know I want
- something that is VERY effective. I don't want to have to worry about if I'm pregnant or not.
- most of my fear is psychological so something that reassures that
- I only get a month or two with my bf due to having college in two different states 16 hours apart
I narrowed my choices down to
- birth control pill
- birth control patch
- IUD
( no matter what i use my bf will be wearing a condom)
but again the fear of effectiveness gets me
I plan to ask this questions to my doctor but i just want a few options first. any other birth control i should put on my list or remove.
please explain you choice so i can compare them to others thoughts.
THANK YOU
