Birth control is a beautiful thing for women because it gives us the control over when we want to have a child. Condoms, oral contraceptives, birth control injections, intrauterine devices, patches and rings are the most commonly utilized methods of birth control. Condoms are considered the best type of birth control not only because of their ability to keep a pregnancy from happening but they also help protect both partners from any transferring of STDs when most other methods do not.
However, most women have chosen modern methods of contraception such as the shot or the birth control rings. Oral methods have proven themselves worthy at protecting you with a 99.99% guarantee that you will not get pregnant when taken properly. Then again, many women now agree that there truly isn’t enough time in the day and forgetting that little pill everyday at the same time is just too easy.
This is where other methods like the birth control injections, patches, rings and the latest for those wanting long term protection is called an intrauterine device, will come into play. The rings and patches can be inserted and protect you for up to three weeks at a time between changes while birth control injections and intrauterine devices (IUD) can last for years at a time.
