Contraceptive Choices
From condoms to cervical caps to hormonal rings, patches, and many types of birth control pills, today we have so many contraception options from which to choose!

What birth control do you use? What are your birth control's pros? Its cons? Are you thinking of switching to something else?

I feel free..

I currently have the Paragard IUD. I've had it alittle over a year and personally I love it. I am a 34 yr old single parent of one 5 year old. I chose the IUD because it lets me control my fertility for an extended period of time and I don't have the same issues I had from hormonal contraception.

The only con I would say I have is that I still have to use condoms for STD protection but that's not even a major issue because I beleive in that anyway.

I don't forsee myself switching to another form of birth control because I am very happy. Prior to the IUD, I had the Nuvaring, which I think its great convenience wise but I had a bad reaction to the hormones. It it wasn't for that I would probably still be using it.
