Birth control

my boyfriend and I have become quite sexual lately. I'm thinking about birth control as an extra precaution to aid the condoms. Which is the most beneficial to your body? My boyfriend has researched it and says an IUD sounds the best. Thoughts on that? I need help...

My doctor, who is a brilliant obgyn, said that it's an outdated notion that women who have not had children are not good candidates for a Mirena. Her office is located next to a university campus and she has a large number of college aged patients who never had children and have gotten a Mirena.  

There are always going to be people online who complain about it. But I've met a very large number of women offline who said they love their Mirena because it's the best bc they've ever used. Unless you try it yourself you won't know if it works for you or not. Personally it's the best thing I've ever used and I'll never use anything else again. Don't buy into the negative hype, that's my suggestion.

IUDs are very good, Merena is the one I used...only down side to it(sorry if its tmi) is it can cause great pain if you and your partner tend to get rough often. That was the only issue I had with it. Other than that it was great!
