What are my options for birth control? i started to take birth control pills, but they made me sick. what other forms of long-term contraceptions are available for women?

There : There are many different birth control pills...All are based on various forms of estrogen and progesterone, but the doses very quite a bit. While you may have gotten "sick" from one type, there are other lower doses that might be better tolerated for you. As for other options, you can consider condoms, iud's (intrauterine devices) which are small pieces of plastic or copper that are inserted into the uterus in the doctor's office with minimal discomfort and no anesthesia needed that can stay in for 5-10 years and be easily removed if future pregnancy is desired, a vaginal ring that you yourself put into the vagina once per month, a contraceptive patch that goes on the skin, and permanent procedures include tubal ligation (tubes tied) for women and vasectomy for men. There are a few other ones as well, but aren't used commonly.

IUDs and implants: You should consider long-acting reversible contraceptives (larc)--2 types of iuds and a small rod placed under the skin. All very effective (the most effective methods--as effective as sterilization), and last 5 or 10 years (iuds) or 3 years (implant). Low rates of side effects, and the hormone iud has low levels of hormones and benefits of lighter periods.
