Thank you for your guys' advice!
It really depends upon your own needs. For long term options, implanon, IUDs and the shot are all good methods. Short term, the various forms of pill or the nuvaring. Tri-cyclen is a good standard and should certainly perform reasonably well. Consult your doctor for further information.
I was on Tri Cylen lo and had absolutely no problems with it, but everyone is different, so giving advice on birthcontrol is difficult.
