Other options: The most effective methods of birth control are the so-called long-acting reversible contraceptives (larc) methods which are extremely effective( as effective as sterilization), long acting 3-10 years and include a rod that is placed beneath the skin of the upper arm, or two types of iuds.There are also other options-- the patch, a vaginal ring, or other non hormonal options that fail more often.
