best birth control

I recently got the depo shot as a form of birth control. It is my first form of "real" birth control. Previously, my boyfriend and I had just used condoms. Well...found out I hate it. I hate the side effects. The only reason I chose that form of birth control method is because one of my closest friends recommended it to me. I guess it has been working out well for her...not so much me. So, I was wondering what birth control methods do you recommend. Which has the least (or not so bad) side effects, yet won't cost me an arm and a leg? I get my birth control from Planned Parenthood, just so you know.

Thanks :)

Hi Jill,


I just found this board... lurking from the July Expecting Club.


About 4 of the new Mommy's to be on the July Expecting Club board got pregnant while on the NuvaRing... do you hear alot (or at all) that the NuvaRing is a non-reliable form of birth control?


I'm just lurking trying to figure out what we are going to do after our 3rd is born.


Thanks!
