Thread: What kind of birth control is best?

I would do your research on the pros and cons for each one and figure out what you can handle.

I'm anti depo (severely bad experience) but pro low dose pill, similar to Nordette, but that is my experience. Others have loved the shot. Many speak highly of IUD's.

Cost depends on several factors, generic vs name brand, insurance benefit vs self pay, low cost clinic vs Dr's office, etc.

If your mom knows you are sexually active, she probably is expecting this at some point and probably welcomes it. Just approach it from the point that you want to protect yourself and boyfriend against an unwanted pregnancy so you feel that you should start seriously exploring BC options and would welcome any input she has as well.
