IUDs and implants: You should consider long-acting reversible contraceptives (larc)--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. See table: http://www.Contraceptivetechnology.Org.
