HEllo what kind of birthcontrol do you think would be best for me?!
Question: I'm 17 and I was wondering what kind of birthcontrol would be best for me. I do LOTS of sports, dance, softball, badmitton, yoga. I don't mind swallowing pills, but I'm afraid i'd forget to take them every night or morning. What other kinds are there? Do those patch things come off easily? Just what would you recommend?

The NuvaRing would be a good choice, if it fits you well. It's a vaginal ring you only have to replace once a month.
The Patch might be dangerous. It emits much higher doses of hormones than the Pill does.
There's a shot you can get every three months, Depo-Provera, but that causes thinning of the bones, and it's not recommended for more than two years of use.
If you have a watch with an alarm on it, or a cell phone with a notification feature, you could set up one of them to remind you to take a pill each day.
Ask your gynecologist what would suit you best.
The oral contraceptive pill is best at your age. If you can't remember, then the next best is something like norplant which is put into the left arm and left for 2 years
I would discuss it with your doctor. There are several options out there and it may take awhile to find the one best for you. One option is the shot (no forgetting anything there), but discuss it with your doctor.
Stay away from the patch. It's too dangerous. There have been heart attacks and strokes suffered by users of the patch and it has been recalled.
just take a pill
There is the nuva ring. That's a good one. I liked it, but it fell out of me; I don't think that's normal, though. Yaz is also a good pill! I would say if you have trouble remembering, always use a condom. I've had bad luck w/ everything. The patch like made a mark on my bottom that was there for months after I quit using it. It works, but it itched like crazy all the time. It just drove me nuts.
ABSTINENCE. You are only 17 and your reproductive system is not yet fully developed, using birth controls may affect the development of this system especially the side effects that contraceptives bring...although studies regarding oncology show vague causes of cancer, contraceptives are linked to that. I'm not trying to scare you, I just want you to be safe and wait for you to get older.
if you are really sporty, stick with the pill,the patch will just get all sweaty and sticky and icky!
condom that fits the foot (hard for a man to admit he is a small one)
Abstinence (difficult to do)
Birth control pill (can be if fey)
Or just say the hell with it and go to it who gives a crap it is the thing to do I wont get knocked up
18 almost and a child to care for and you do not even have a life of your own
You do get married and fights all the time and divorce because you both are just starting to see what is out there in the world to have and and it can be all yours
And a child to care for with a potential dead beat dad for the next 18 years
No chance to go to college becuae you have to work to pay the bills alone
you women are suckers for a mans sexual needs all the time

At your age, I would recommend the pill. If you have a hard time reminding yourself to take medication set a daily alarm on your cell phone to remind you to take your medicine. If that doesnt help, try carrying around an egg and keeping it from cracking for a week, no leaving it with anyone at all. This will give you a tiny picture of what caring for a baby is like and may help remind you to take your pills. Also remember, pills and other hormone birth control pills prevent pregnancy very effectively but provide absolutely no protection to SCDs. Its really best to only have sex with someone you know is safe, in a monogomous relationship, and using a condom. The pill, shot or patch do not illiminate the need to use protection.
