  • Are you good at remembering to take pills? Then the pill is your most effective bet. The advantage is that you can stop it when you're ready to get pregnant.

    Not good at pills, but still want to be able to get pregnant without a lot of hassle? Nuvaring, diaphragm, patch are all possibilities. As well as the good old condom.

    If pregnancy is a long way off in your plans, consider the IUD, depo-provera or implanon.

    And if you don't want anything artificial at all, pick up a copy of "Taking Charge Of Your Fertility" by Toni Wechsler to learn Fertility Awareness.

  • I will look into IUD pregnanys is a long wayyyyyy off! lol. Thanks I will look into the book. I am not big on medicine and stuff but I am sure I do not want to come home pregnant. we have used condoms before we took the vow. I just know they are not 100% so I thought a back up method would be good in case we forget (i will not) or it breaks...

  • Here is a GREAT tool! It's an interactive questionnaire. It asks you questions about your lifestyle and your preferences. When you've finished it comes up with the birth control method(s) that would suit you best. Scroll down the page and hit the "Find My Method" button.

  • My favorite BC was Nuva Ring - so easy! I would still be using it if I hadn't gotten my tubes tied after my 5th (planned)
