    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, birth control options such as condoms, the pill, the patch, diaphragms, implants, vaginal rings and IUDs are safe. However, each option carries potential risks and side effects which may vary for each individual. For example, the pill or the patch may increase your risk of having a stroke or blood clots, while using condoms carry very little additional risks with the exception of an allergic reaction. Talk to your doctor about the method that is right for you.
