Different for each p: The best bc option is the one that fits an individuals needs while causing fewest side effects. If you want to know which are most effective at preventing pregnancy: iud's, Nexplanon or Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone)., but you need to talk to your dr about all side effects and risks with each of those methods. I don't have enough characters to explain for each contraceptive method. Your doctor can get you informat.

IUD/Implant: 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
