Implants, hormone shots, IUD, male sterilization and female sterilization

Condoms, diaphragm, female condoms, spermicides, and withdraw

FIRST RECOMMENDATION: The implant because it lasts for 5 years, and you do not have to remember to take it everyday and has the lowest pregnancy rate.
SECOND RECOMMENDATION: Hormone shots because they given every 3 months and also have a low pregnancy rate.
THIRD RECOMMENDATION: Continue the birth control pill and use male condom at the same time. This is still effective but not as much.
