Oral contraceptives are only one of your choices. Typically in younger women with very busy schedules, dr's would recommend a contraceptive injection that lasts 3 months at a time so that the Patient doesn't have the worry of remembering to take a daily pill. The first step is to talk to your Dr for a full physical exam and Pap smear. They can advise you o the best type for your specific situation
