Oral contraceptive: There is no one "best" oral contraceptive - depending on personal needs and potential side effects - you and your physician can select what may be most appropriate oral contraceptive for you.

BCP: No "BEST" pill. Decision depends on effects & side-effects, to be discussed with your Ob/Gyn.

IUD/Implant > Pill: Regardless of your age, blood pressure, family history, or reactions to other birth control, the most effective and safest methods of birth control are long-acting progestin-only methods, such as the implant or the hormonal IUD, which decrease rates of endometrial cancer and decrease bleeding. They're safe, reversible, and don't affect weight gain/mood. They're almost as good as getting sterilized
