Depends: It depends on what you are looking for. In the us the birth control pill is very common and patients have quick return to fertility once they stop it. However, strict compliance is key to the pill being effective. If you're looking for long acting, reversible forms then an iud is an excellent choice as is implanon. There is also a Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot that lasts 3 months.

LARC: 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. They're safe, reversible, and don't affect weight gain/mood. They're almost as good as getting sterilized.
