Some of the Main Birth Control Options

Birth Control Options
Choosing between pills? Hormonal or Non Hormonal?
Here is a big list Of Birth Control Options..
Abstinence--- haha Funny but still had to say :)

Pull Out Method-- If used correctly can be great Birth Control
but you HAVE to know your cycle perfectly!!

Condoms-- They do have a male(most commonly used) and Female(Femy,Protectiv, Reality)

Birth Control Pills-- (Estrostep Fe, LoEstrin 1/20, Orth-Novum 7/7/7,
Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, Yasmin, Yaz) This birth control mainstay is still
  99% effective against pregnancy when taken around the same time every
  day. It's also known for easing hot flashes and restoring regular periods.

Progestin-only Pill-- (Micronor, Nora-BE, Nor-QD, Ovrette)Known as the
  mini pill, progestin-only meds don't contain estrogen. They're safer
  for smokers, diabetics, and heart disease patients, as well as those at
  risk for blood clots. They also won't reduce the milk supply for women
  who are breast-feeding.
Extended-cycle Pill-- (Lybrel, Seasonale, Seasonique) These pills
  prevent pregnancy and allow you to have a period only every three
  months. (Note: Lybrel stops your period for a year, but you must
  take a pill every day, year-round.)
Vaginal Ring-- (Nuva Ring) What is does: The ring is made of flexible
  plastic and delivers estrogen and progestin, just like the combination
  pill. You place the ring in your vagina for three weeks, and then remove
  it for one week so that you have a regular period.
Diaphragm-- (Milex Wide Seal, Ortho All-Flex, Semina, SILCS)
  What it does: Made of rubber and shaped like a dome, a diaphragm prevents
  sperm from fertilizing an egg. It covers the cervix and must always be used
  with a spermicide. Women must be fitted for a diaphragm in their doctor's office.
IUD--(Mirena, ParaGard) What it does: ParaGard is a surgically implanted copper
  device that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. Mirena, also surgically implanted,
  works by releasing hormones. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are more than 99% effective
  and good for 10 years.
Patch-- (Ortho Evra) What it does: You can place the hormone-releasing patch on your
  arm, buttock, or abdomen, and rest easy for one week.

Implant--(Implanon, Norplant)  What it does: About the size of a matchstick, the implant
  is placed under the skin on your upper arm. Implants last for three years and can cost
  up to $800. They are nearly 100% effective
Sterilization-- (Essure, Tubal Ligation, Vasectomy)  What it does: Women can undergo either
  tubal ligation, a surgical procedure that blocks the fallopian tubes from carrying eggs
  to the uterus, or tubal implants (Essure), a nonsurgical technique in which a small coil
  is inserted into the fallopian tubes. The sterilization process is less risky for men: A
  vasectomy is a minor surgery in which the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles are cut.
