best birth control for beginners?

Question

I'm sixteen years old and sexually active with my BF and I don't really want to go on birth control (we're always using condoms and he's never came inside me anyway) but my parents are making me. What's the best kind for a beginner? what brand of pills, if pills are best?

Answer

There's not really a "beginner" option, it's just what you're most comfortable with. If you don't want to take a pill every day, you can get a rod inserted in your arm (the implant), have a shot of hormones every so often (depo shot), a Nuvaring, an IUD (intrauterine device), and more. Glow has fact sheets about it, and you and your parents can discuss what you're most comfortable with, in terms of both what it is and cost.
