Birth Control Methods, How Effective They Are?

The recent advancements of medicine have provided us with many new birth control methods or methods of contraception.

Injections

There are certain injectable medication available for being used as one of the birth control methods. In case of considering shots, you need to get repeated shots on time.
 

Pill

The so called “anti-baby pill” or “The Pill” is one of the most popular and widely used birth control methods. In case of considering pill as a method of contraception you should make sure to take one pill each day at the nearly same time of the day.
