Progesterone only: It is best to avoid estrogen containing contraceptives due to the increased risk of clotting. Highly effective progesterone-only choices would be the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud, Implanon implant or depo-provera shots. Less effective would be Progesterone only pills. A highly effective non-hormonal options would be the copper containing iud. Less effective non-hormonal options would be barrier methods.

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. Should not be a problem for someone with antiphospholipid. Avoid estrogen.
