A member asked:

I am terrified to take yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) or other birth control. is there anything else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

So many options!: Remember that for most women even the pill is safer than pregnancy! you can check with your gynecologist about other options including Progesterone only methods (injection, oral, implant), iud's, getting fitted for a diaphragm, or tubal ligation.
