What type of birth control do you recommend using?

Birth control: That all depends on yor specific health conditions. At 48 years old, good methods might include an iud such as mirena, (levonorgestrel) the contraceptive implant, or one of the types of sterilization such as tubal ligation or essure. Some healthy women who don't smoke can still take low-dose oral contraceptives at age 48. There's no one right answer for everyone.
