A member asked:

I want to find out which is the best contraception method i can use to prevent pregnancy. would it be taking a pill/getting an injection or getting a patch?

Hard to say: The best BC method for you is one you work out with your doc after a thorough review of history, exam and possible testing. They range from simple to complex,labor intensive to passive, hormonal or hormone free. Schedule a visit to explore your options.
