My sister is not yet ready to get pregnant, which is why she's thinking of taking birth control. Well, thank you for sharing here that there are various types of hormonal methods, such as birth control pills, skin patches, and vaginal rings with estrogen. I'm glad that you also discussed here that there are barrier methods that she may use, just like the Diaphragm and Cervical cap.

Thanks for explaining how hormonal birth control methods work to prevent ovulation. I want to find a local gynecologist to discuss birth control now that my husband and I have decided we don't want another child for a while. I appreciate you discussing this info and teaching me about methods of birth control in a way that was easy to understand.

My fiance and I were talking about birth control for when we get married. I'll see if she would prefer the hormonal methods or the barrier methods. I want her to feel comfortable because it seems that a lot of the options mainly affect her.
