Best contraception?

hey...im 16, and its my boyfriends birthday in april and we wanna have it on his birthday, like the first time for both of us. Im really really really scared of getting pregnant so I wanna know what contraception is best to use at my age. I mean were gonna use condoms (the male ones) but im scared in case it splits... ARGH! what we use? thank you x

The best method is to avoid vaginal intercourse and do it in a way that there is no chance of his sperm getting inside your body. The knowledge that there is zero chance of you becoming pregnant should make for an even happier birthday.

I waited until my 20s, when I knew I was in a position to deal with an accident. I totally recommend waiting. But...

There's a lot of information you really need to understand so you can make informed choices about your health and life. The choices you make will effect you from now on.

Understand what Rob and I said here:

Never rely on condoms alone. At the very least also use a spermicide that is compatible with whatever material the condom is made of. My friends and I are all pretty natural and we all avoid hormones... so I know a lot of careful, responsible women who have condom babies. You don't want to join them.

In my opinion, the best contraception is any of the ones you don't have to think about daily. That lessens the possibility of user error or laziness.

My fav is the ParaGard IUD. I think this because it lasts for 10 years, it's hormone free, and I don't have to do anything to keep it effective, so I can't mess it up. It's more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. I'm not sure what the minimum age is to get one. You'd have to talk to your parents and have it inserted by a doctor. They're expensive, but there are payment plans available if insurance doesn't cover it or pay out of pocket. This is what I use.

I've heard good things from my friends who use NuvaRing.

You really, really need to talk to a doctor... and your parents if you can. Call Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN(7526) and explore the information at http://www.plannedparenthood.org/.

Although there is never a "safe" time of the month, you really, really need to understand how to know when your body is ovulating and avoid having sex at that time and NEVER have sex during or near that time. You really need to understand your body. You can and should learn more at http://www.beautifulcervix.com/cervix-photo-galleries/photos-of-cervix/ and http://www.tcoyf.com/. You must understand your body, so get over any discomfort or grossness you may feel about learning about it. You've got to be responsible.

And good for you for thinking about birth control BEFORE having sex. Just make sure you follow through.
