More Effective Birth Control

The IUD and the birth control implant are the two most effective forms of birth control. They are more effective than the birth control pill. With the IUD and the birth control implant, you don’t need to take a pill every day. You don’t need to get a prescription refilled every month. And you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant.
