It's been awhile since I took birth control pills (never had sex, yet). I was off of it for a few years and was saving money to get the stick implant ($400 to get reach my deductable). But, today, my mom tells me I should get the IUD, which was never my thing. I was afraid to have that. It seems the way the economy is going and with my medical insurance, it's probably the best way to go.
