Hi! My name is Ashley. This is my first time looking into birth control and I'm very overwhelmed by all the varieties. I'm interested in taking a pill or using another low maintenance method of birth control. But I have 2 main concerns: 1. I want to be sure to stop ovulation. 2. I want to avoid long term health problems, like bone loss. If anyone could give me some suggestions I would be so grateful!

IUD
Thanks for the suggestion Patti! I looked into IUD's, and I don't think they will be right for me. I'm thinking taking a pill will be better for me, because if I don't react well to the hormones I'll be able to stop taking them, as opposed to having to rely on doctors to insert and remove an IUD.
But I if you have any suggestions on pills that don't have severe side effects and stop ovulation, that would be great!Comment
