Birth Control Options for Young Women: A Comprehensive Guide

Question
Im 19 and i have never had intercourse with a man. What type of birth control would be most effective for me to go on? I just want to be prepared for the future. Thanks!

Answer
Rachel,

I don't advise you to go on any kind of birth control until you get married and have a need. Too many women go on hormonal birth control, such as the pill and then have problems with health, etc. It's not healthy or necessary (in my opinion) to just be on birth control for no reason. Why are you thinking about this at this time of your life? Just curious. I would love to hear from you by email so we can talk more.

Sincerely,
