What's the best form of birth control?

IUDs are great. A lot of doctors won't put them in unless you already have a child, so be prepared for the possibility of that answer. The reasoning behind this is that an IUD can cause scaring in the uterus, particularly if you get an std (the infection will go into the uterus).
Another reason they won't put the iud in for women without children is it hurts like hell. After you've had one baby vaginally, the cervix has opened and it makes insertion easier. They try insert iuds during your period, because the cervix is softer and very slightly opened.
I have one. I have no kids, and I didn't have my period when they put it in. It hurt. As though someone had shot me. But it takes less than ten minutes to put in. You have cramping for a few days, and it just takes a while to get used to it. You feel kind of different. I had ovarian cysts (I had been on the pill for 12 years, and my doc said I would have probably had them my whole life if I hadn't been on the pill) and those were uncomfortable.
I love the IUD. It's easy. I never had to think about it, and it never bothers me. I have the mirena iud. It's good for 5 years, and you can have it removed at any time and start trying to get pregnant right away. Usually doesn't take any longer than it does coming off the pill, actually less time normally. I think they're about $300-$500. The pill is about $30 a month, so it doesn't take too long to get your moneys worth. It just depends on your insurance.
