I want to know about birth control?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lots of kinds: Birth control pills - you take a pill every day at the same time. Depo-Provera shot - you get a shot every 3 months. Implanon - slow release delivery system inserted under the skin and lasts for 5 years. IUD - usually Mirena (levonorgestrel) which has progesterone embedded in it - this goes up into the uterus and is good for 5 years. Condoms - barrier protection but must be used EVERY time properly. Good luck
