Birth control options: pros and cons.

Your contraceptive needs will change throughout your life. The best way to choose the method best suited to you is to contact a qualified family planning professional. Effective birth control counseling will take into account your health and medical history, your lifestyle, your sex life, and your method preferences. For some methods, the diaphragm and IUD for example, you may also need to have a physical exam.
