Birth Control Options Many birth control options are available today, but not all of them are equally beneficial for everybody. Their effectiveness, side effects, cost and ability to prevent HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) also vary. When deciding on a birth control method, you should consider some important factors. These include your medical history, current health status, age, frequency of sexual activity and lifestyle. For an informed decision on your birth control method, please contact one of our family planning clinics. Based on medical tests and examination conducted there, you can decide which method is most suitable for your needs. In addition, the health-care providers at the clinics can provide instructions about how to use a particular method, counseling and birth control supplies.

Birth Control options: Birth Control Shot (Depo-Provera and Lunelle) Condoms (Male and Female) Emergency Birth Control (Emergency Contraceptive Pills, Plan B and Copper T IUD) IUDs (Copper T, Levonorgetrel and Progestasert) More birth control information can be found at www.womenshealth.gov/faq/birthcont.htm The North Dakota Department
