The Effects of Birth Control

             Today's woman has many birth control options, allowing her to decide whether or not she will have children. This paper is designed as an overview of available birth control options that match a woman's physical, emotional, and lifestyle needs. I feel that the pill is an excellent, affordable method of birth control, and it's 99.5% effective.
             According to contraceptive technology, combination pills are approximately 99.9% effective if used correctly. This means is that one in 1,000 women taking the pill will get pregnant in the period of a year. In real-life use, about 3% of users get pregnant over the course of a year. Statistics state that this is "usually due to missing one or more pills," but there are two things that should be remembered: statistics are not everything--the best form of birth control is the one you will use correctly and consistently, and oral contraceptives provide no protection from sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV. If that is a concern, you should combine the pill with condoms for an unbeatable combination.
             At any stage of life, a woman may find that one method of birth control suits her needs better than others. Periodic review of available birth control options will help ensure to choose a method that best meets your current lifestyle. Some factors to consider that might be important
             include method effectiveness, permanency, convenience and protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
             Some questions that I have are how safe and effective is the method, will the method affect my sex drive or my partner's sex drive, is there an age at which I should stop using hormone-based contraceptives, will the birth control method affect my ability to have children in the future, what are my birth control options if I am breastfeeding, what birth control method
             would you recommend for me at this stage of my life, these are some common question that might and could be asked to be answere...
