If you are not ready for permanent birth control (which, when/if you are, him getting snipped is so, so much safer and less complicated than you getting your tubes tied) there are several very effective methods. Which one is 'best' is up to you. They each have their pro's and cons, but here are the most effective:
Hormonal birth control: These fall into a few forms. They all work by basically fooling your body into thinking it's pregnant. They have similar side effects, which are different for every one. There's 'The Pill', which is very effective but you have to remember to take it at the same time every day. Nuva-Ring is an insertable device which goes around your cervix and gets the hormones into your system that way, you only have to change it once a month. The Patch goes on your skin and is changed once a week.
Depo-Provera is injected every few months by your doctor or nurse practitioner. It's very effective, but also expensive and if you don't like needles? Not so much with the good. Also, you can get unscheduled spotting, or no period at all (which I'd consider a benefit).
Having already had two children, you are a prime candidate for an IUD (Intra Uterine Device). This is a small bit of plastic or copper that is inserted by a doctor into your uterus. It is very effective, lasts as long as you want it, and can be removed if you change your mind about wanting children. It can cause heavier periods though.
Your best bet is to ask your doctor or NP and discuss which method you and they think would be best for you.What's the best form of birth control?
I'm on Ortho Cyclen. I've been on it for 2 years, and.. well.. I'm not pregnant! lol
Report Abuse
The best form of birth control is the moon cycle, the pull out method, campus co ed orgies, or sleeping with your neighbors who shoot blanks instead of your husband. Also, crocodile dung does not work but horse dung will help the garden.
Theres this new ad. going around about a small piece of plastic that doctors insert into your vagina. It stays there for five years, or less depending on what you want. It can be inserted on the same day as your appointment. I'm sorry i forgot the name but if you look it up you'll most likely find it. It's 99.9 percent affective.
IUD....
I use mirena and it works so well... takes a few months for your body to adjust... but I have had no problems.
It lasts for 5 yrs... and if you ever decide that you want to have another baby you still can---
Depo is the most effective of women's birth controls, but it causes many people to gain significant amounts of weight. I also saw a commerical the other day for some type of birth control that is inserted into you...somehow...and can be taken out at any time, and used up to 5 years. Targeted toward married women who want more kids but not right now--ask your gyno about it.
Oral Contraception is the best form of Birth Control. And the FIRST word in Oral Contraception- is ';No';. It's cheap, easy, %26amp; it NEVER fails ! :)
Ask you husband to consider a vassectomy. They can be reversed if you decide to add to your family.
no pacthes patches + chance of bloddc lots so ui would advice pills they obthe come with circumstances so yeah
Best is to use your ovulation calendar, the easiest to use the pill.
The first is not 100%, the second has side effects.
You choose...
IUD, my wife used one for about 5 years until we were ready for kids. Worked great.! Never a problem, never a hesitation, no planning, no schedule to keep.
There's a shot that women can get every... 3 months? i think.
And then you'd probably have to use a condom too.
Not sure. Just look into the shot
they preech 2 forms of birth control
whether it is the girl haveing a birth control patch, pill. shot or female condom
then having the male wear a male condom
2 forms is the safest way to go
the mirena!! it's not scary like the metal coil iuds....
it's thin flexible plastic, it is good for 5 years. if you decide you want kids, you can get it taken out earlier. if after the 5 years you still dont want the risk, you just get another one
here is more info:

they have that one on tv they've been advertising a lot! its where they put it in you and it works for five years and you can get it taken out if you want too...so yeah id go with something like that so you dont ever have to think about it...just talk to your ob/gyn
a form of birth control, talk to your doctor and see what the different options are and he thinks would be most effective and safe for you, also condoms on top of the birth control just to be extra sure since you guys are married, if you dont like condoms then try the pulling out method while still using the birth control
no sex.
quite boring though
My girlfriend gets the depo shot. At first it messes with you becasue of all the hormones but it calms down.
Aside from abstinence, i know birth control pills have gotten to the point where you only have 4 periods a year (but you have to remember when to take it, otherwise it can get thrown off), nuva-ring is pretty nifty, they can also implant a birth control device in your arm (which I believe they do in China) which prevents pregnancy essentially indefinitely until the device is removed (there may be side effects when its removed and you try to get pregnant though) and thus it is probably the most secure form of birth control aside from a laparoscopy.
If money isn't an issue he can go down and get ';fixed'; it's not permanant so when your ready he can go down and get ';unfixed'; at any time. My friends did this and have 6 kids, they had 2, then he went and got fixed, then like 5 years later when their finances were better he got undone and they had 2 more, then fixed again, then 3 years later, again and 2 more! he has been fixed 3 times!!! What a husband! haha.
Anyway besides that I stick to birth control and condoms.
Good luck, hope this helps :)

i would go to the gyno and ask what is best for you....there are pills, patches, rings, shots, but all come with effects and regimens that differ, they all are effective when used correctly which is easier when you chose what meets your concerns and fits in your life.
My initial response would have been abstinence. Sorry, it's now a habit when I read most others that post the same question, except they are 15 or so wanting to know the best birth control. But for you, maybe the pill, depo, etc. and a condom, or a condom and some female birth control you buy over the counter.
pulling out
Oral. It's just as intimate, if not more so, than vaginal sex, but without the risk of creating unwanted family members.
An IUD works well. If you do decide to have another then it is a great choice. Or the depo shot. Once every 3 months can't go wrong.
Go on the pill.... have you heard of it?
My sister is on Mirena. She loves it. She said the first few days were kind of uncomfortable while her body adjusted to the idea of it being in, but she's loving the freedom and the effortlessness of it. The doc puts it in and it can stay for up to 5 years.
Abstinence is the best form of birth control. You may want to consider changing the sign on the exit only orifice.
';What's the best form of birth control?';
