Visit with OBGYN: A visit with an OBGYN or a primary care provider that offers contraceptive services is a good investment. The right method for you would depend on many factors derived from a health history, family history & possibly some testing. Condoms are safe and effective but longer term methods like the pill or an IUD must be matched with your personal factors.
