New Year’s Resolutions – Finding a Birth Control Method

By , About.com GuideJanuary 3, 2008

Follow me on:

Given that this is the beginning of a new year, do you find yourself lost in “new year’s resolutions” thought? With the new year upon us, you may find yourself seeking out new love relationships or strengthening the one you are already in. I know that one of my resolutions is to provide you all with the most comprehensive birth control information that I can. Please feel free to share your thoughts in my Contraceptive Forum and let me know what information you want to know about.

If part of your resolutions this year is to find the right birth control method, then I hope to help you on this journey. With so much information “out there” – you may be wondering where to even begin? Wouldn’t it be great if you could just spin a wheel and have it land on “use Mirena” or "NuvaRing is for you”? But, that approach is not too dependable, so please make sure that you check in every week as I will feature a new contraceptive method in my blog as well as tips for choosing the best method for you.

Also, incase you miss this information, please sign up for my FREE Weekly Contraception Newsletter. This will be delivered to your email each week and will include all of the week’s information about choosing a birth control method as well as highlighting other news and events in the contraceptive world.

To begin this process, one of the important steps in deciding on a method is knowing what alternatives are available. Today, I will spotlight spermicide – available over the counter to everyone.
