Expert: Ramona Quilter - 10/31/2006


Question
I am twenty year old college student and currently dating.Considering I'm extremely sexually active what would be the best birth control method for me at my age?

Answer
Abstinence is the only thing I recommend for a single girl.  No birth control method is 100% effective.  

There are serious health and emotional risks to being sexually active and also to taking the pill or the shot or the patch.  You are playing with fire.  And I have no suggestions.

Expertise

Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.

Experience

I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
