I take some generic form of the birth control pill. The co-pay is only $5 a month, which works for me since i'm so poor. It's the third type of oral contraceptive i've been on and it seems to do the job. I don't love being on the pill, but i imagine i'd like being pregnant at 20 even less, so i deal with it. My boyfriend and i usually use condoms, too, i guess cause it's safer, and there's less mess when you're done! I know i'm gonna sound like your health teacher when i say this, but it hasn't been said here yet, so i'm gonna: Don't forget that the pill, the patch, depo, and nuva ring don't protect against STDs, so if you're with someone new, use condoms till you've both been checked out by a doctor!!!
