Which Birth Control Is Right for You? What to Know at Every Stage of Life

While birth control is widely used today, misinformation around it still persists. Questions like: Will birth control affect my future fertility? Does it cause weight gain? And how do I know which option is right for me? We spoke with Natalie Crawford, MD, fertility doctor and co-founder of Fora Fertility, about the full spectrum of birth control – from hormonal to non-hormonal options. She breaks down common side effects, key health conditions to discuss with your doctor, and how to choose the best method for each stage of life, from adolescence to postpartum to menopause.
