Hey there!! UGH!! the pill is too much troubleyou take it every day at the same time if you forget to take one pill there might be a chance of getting pregnant, the shot is every 3 months and when you get your period you loose alot of blood and there is also blood cloughts and you can also get anemia. I use the nuva ring you insert the ring in your vagina it doesnt hurt you dont feel it and you leave it on for three weeks andtake it out to get your period then after a week you insert a new one. Go to the clinic for information.Good luck!!

if you dont want to go there go to boots/superdrugs and buy a basic pack of condoms, if your embarassed use a self-service checkout, or just buy a few products at once.
no one is going to judge though ;]
i was on the pill and its really easy to forget to take, it has to be at the same time every day and if you miss one there is a chance you'll get pregnant.
i recommend considering the injection, it lasts 3 months and protects you from pregnancy 99.9%, although no one has got pregnant on it
it works exactly the same as the pill
and can even stop your periods which is great, an extra week for sex =pp!
just have a browse on the net and find a contraception you'll feel comfortable with, you wont know what'll suit you till youve tried it anyway
and enjoy yourself!!

 condoms are one of the best things on the Market to use. They are 99.9% effective and protect against STD and things like that...
The pill works as a way of tricking your body into thinking that you are pregnant but it's not and because it tricks your body then there is no way of getting pregnant becuase your body feels like it already is if that makes sence.. Hehe... They always miss days out when you are on your period so it is always better if you are in a proper cycle.... A trip to your local GP will give all the information you need and all the stuff you tell him will be confidential.. Good luck and remember be safe!! x

Most pills are once a day.
Sometimes condoms can be bought in machines like tampons. ^^
Hope I helped!
