Longer Lasting Birth Control Also More Effective



New analysis shows that women using longer term birth control methods are much less likely to have unplanned pregnancies then those using short term methods. Twenty times less likely it turns out.

"We were surprised at the magnitude of the difference between the contraceptive methods," the study author Dr. Jeffrey Peipert, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Washington University School of Medicine, stated in an interview for MSNBC.Com.
The study, May 24, 2012 in the New England Journal of Medicine, one of the largest ever done in the U.S., compared birth control failure rates over a three-year period, according to Peipert. It's also one of the few to include a large number of women using IUDs and implants.
Given the findings, Peipert said to MSNBS that women and health professionals should consider this question: Would we use a medication that was 20 times less effective for cancer or heart disease? If the answer is “no” then you might want to consider changing your birth control method.
Of course, the best way to choose what method of birth control is best for you would be in consultation with your OBGYN.
