Birth control: you might consider DepoProvera injection or implantable progestin rod. Intrauterine devices are a possibility but can be difficult to insert never having had children. If you want to avoid hormones, other barrier methods such as diaphragms are also available.

Copper IUD: An IUD is a bit uncomfortable to place, but can give you 5 years of BC without any hormonal effects on your body & limited maintenance. It was once considered only in those with children but is now pretty standard even for teens.
