Despite so many different options for birth control being available, it often feels like the pill is the only option. But knowing what your options are us key to making the choice that is best for you and your body. In this episode, I deep dive into each method of birth control, how effective it is, why it works, and the pros and cons to each. I cover: The traditional pill, which is roughly 91% effective and comes in two types. IUDs, which are 99% effective and come in 5 types in the United States. Nexplanon, which is also 99% effective and implanted in the arm. The depo shot, which is 94% effective and needs to be re-administered once every 3 months. NuvaRing, which is 99% effective and needs to be replaced every month. Spermacides, which are 79% effective and should be used in addition to other forms of birth control. Phexxi, which 93% effective when used correctly, 86% when used with error, and is a relatively newer option for spermacide. Condoms, which are 85% effective. Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs), which are the most natural form of birth control, and requires using your bio-markers to track your fertility and ovulation. I also cover when in your cycle you're at the highest risk for pregnancy. Reach out on Instagram with any further questions!
