Anything but depo and implant is my recommendation
I had the pill in high school, but God forbid I missed a day by accident I was stressed out and scared for days, I would rather the needle every 3 months or iud so I wouldn’t have to worry
I was on a few different kinds of birth control when I was a teen, mostly to regulate my cycle. A good Gynecologist should be able to perform a few blood tests to see which prescription would be best 
Either the iud or the implant in the arm. I think the pill would be easy to forget. If you miss 1 days it screws up the cycle doesn’t it?
I’m no teen but I have the 5 year iud.

pill is the safest!!
I just could have seen this back in the 50’s. Especially my father’s face. I am satisfied that today’s teens are so into sex that it is necessary for parents to be concerned. Kids are living way to fast now.
Ridiculous question . Be a responsible mother and take your kid to a gynecologist.

Honestly if you don’t know then I’d schedule a Dr appointment- that way she can get as much info as she can. CDC and FDA has contraception list too so you can see the options on there 
but dr can go more into depth as well. There’s a lot of information I think would be beneficial for that, and I believe most places , if not all, also give out brochures so you can take home the proper information as well.

My 13 yr old has the implant in her arm. She hasn’t had any problems with it. She has had it for about a year now. Has to be replaced every 3 years

Make an appointment at planned parenthood to go over options I would think the pill is safest however remembering to take it every day is risky! When I was a teenager my mom put me on the depo shot and I gained a lot of weight my sister had the one in her arm she had no problems. I had the IUD but it took around 6 months for my body to adjust! I would say if you go that route to take the non hormonal iud they do have a few different kinds! Whatever you chose I would make it a top priority to get her in to view her options

Condoms an education- I would never put my teen on birth control due to all the crazy side effects.
The patch shot or Nuva ring
You are being a great mom. I have been on the pill, had the patch and I had the iud. The doctor can steer you in the right direction. I however was not a fan of the iud. It gave me horrible cramps and I was one who when I was on my cycle I didn’t have cramps. I hope my daughter and I have the kind of relationship that you have with your daughter. I would rather her be safe, instead of raising my grandkids.
I had the depo shot as a teen. I now have an IUD as an adult. I don’t like the pills bc I freak if I forget to take one.
I had the depo shot for about a year as a teenager but it didn’t work well for me so I switched to the NuvaRing which was better. She’ll have to either start going to your OBGYN or take her to Planned Parenthood
I’ve been on tri cyclen lo since I was 16. It helped me with more than just my periods and cramps.
I’m on the nexplanon I think it’s great lasts for several YEARS so it’s ok to forget for a little while. it’s lightened my periods often I go without one for months and months.
I personally would suggest an implant so that she doesn’t have to worry about missing a dose, taking late (if you take it in the morning you ALWAYS have to take it in the morning or else it’s basically like you didn’t take it at all) and all that.
Wow … Times have certainly changed !

Go to the doctors with her and see what the doctor think is best for her body. All hormones are different and affect the body in different ways.

You should make her an appointment and have them discuss the different type and what is better for her. As a person who has had various types through out my life they each come with their own complications and what is best for anyone else might not be the best option for her. She also might have to try a few different types through the years to find out what works best for her mentally and physically.
Copper iud. No hormones, nothing to remember and good for up to 10 years. Found out the hard way my daughter had bad reactions to the hormones.
Definitely talk to her Dr. but know that you’re doing the right thing putting her on birth control instead of burying your head in the sand . Proud of you!

Agree talk to a doctor each type had it’s advantages and disadvantages. Also have the sexual transmitted diseases talk and why still using a condom is important. From what I understand they are on the rise,

Are you looking for good prevention or period regulation? If it’s good prevention, you’ll need stronger than the pill. Pills are not close to 99% and are lose dose so are the most common people get pregnant on. Also, remind her condoms are supposed to be used with birth control. It’s not meant to be used as a nut free-for-all.

Probably something with low hormones. I took lo dose pills during my teen years but it was to regulate my period. If you need something for the other reason and you don’t think she will remember there are more options. I suggest discussing them with your OB.
I’ve had a copper IUD for a couple years now. Works wonders but EXTREMELY painful insert for me and my cramps have multiplied in frequency and pain 
I get periods like 2-4 times a year now. Pills didn’t work for me because I experienced too many side effects and I am TERRIBLE at taking them everyday on time.

Implant would be my first choice but really it’s something that needs to be discussed with her and a doctor as well as they can give more of the pros & cons of each one.

When I was younger and just becoming sexually active, I started the birth control pill. I continued to take it for 6 years and skipped the placebo pills because I never had periods. I never once had a pregnancy scare because I was responsible and took them every day at the same time. I had the Mirena after I stopped taking the pills and it hurt extremely bad and I bled alot. I begged my OB to take it out for 3 months and i switched right back to the pill. I recommend the pill 100% if she is responsible enough to remember to take it as directed. That being said though, make sure she is also properly educated on STDs and how they spread.
My 16 yr old has been on Mirena for a year. Has had no problems
Let her pick. Head to the GYN and let them establish a relationship.
Nexplanon implant is great. 3 years! Nothing to remember to take. Worked great for my girls. But let her and her doctor talk and make the decision.

I’m on the patch and I like it. You change it every 7 days for 3 weeks then take it off for 1 week
Everyone is so so different. I would take her to the doctor and let them explain all the different types, get her to do a little research and figure out what she might prefer.
I don’t recommend the pill for teens as they can be pretty average to terrible at taking it on time and that unfortunately results in pregnancy.

Take her to a Dr . Ask lots of questions
Why do people ask on social media . That’s for a physician to decide with her & you
Hormones can do lots of damage & can cause other issues
There are a lot of options today
Thanks for being such an understanding mom !

IUD’s will move and have to be removed. 1 daughters did move for almost 3 yrs. 1 daughter after a year with min sex moved. Best bet is Depo
Do not do the depo Provera. It ended up enlarging my uterus and at 32 had to have a hysterectomy. My mom had the depo provera and started bleeding blood clots the size of a fist. Was told that she needed a hysterectomy and insurance said not until you are anemic. It was scary to see.

Definitely worthy of a doctor visit. If she has heavy, painful and/or irregular periods make sure she brings that up.

Everyone is different, nexplanon effects people differently, I gained weight and had my period 3 weeks out of 4 every month didn’t work for me. It’s worth discussing it with your Obgyn. Everyone reacts differently to different types of birth control.

Take her to a gynecologist & have them explain all her options, side effects, probability, etc. Depending on her medical history, she may not be eligible for some.

As far as one that is good and I’ve been told safer than some others, I would recommend Yaz. I took it in my late teens/early 20’s and have a niece on it now. From what I understood when I took it (and believe seemed true), along with how my niece has been doing on it, the side effects are far less than many other BC options. Wish you all the best!

Go see an MD and get a prescription.
Considering all the options are prescriptions, it seems like you can decide on what you want and then not get it anyways, because the doctor is far more qualified to answer this question than everyone here combined is.

I would just take her for a gyno apt and allow the professional to discuss the different options with her. That way she can make an informed decision before putting something into her body. Birth control can have a lot of negative side effects so it’s best if she’s made aware of everything beforehand

Iud is best so she won’t forget taking it or changing it …ask for the copper one doesn’t have hormones
nexplanon!!!
good for 5 years!
in the arm so it wont damage her vagina in ANY way or get lost in her uterus and highly effective!!!
Talk to her about safe sex
My advice would be to take her to your GP and discuss what options
Are best for her and how to use to use that option
Talking to a doctor is great but I’ve had mixed opinions from doctors on what is good and what isn’t. But what had worked for me is Nexplanon and I’ve had it in since I was 15 (it’s been changed once and I took a break for a year) to help regulate my cycle because it was bad and to help other things.

Talk with her doctor! I got on BC due to a lump in my breast that would enlarge and hurt a lot during my periods. Since I got the shot I haven’t had a period nor pain in my breast. BCs release different hormones into the body! Although I’m not fond of any because they change you a lot. I went from 90-110 pounds struggling with bulimia to now 135 pounds feeling a lot bigger than I was while there is nothing wrong with it, I have notice with the Depo Vera shot weight gain is a huge side effect! It also had heightened my anxiety more than I like to admit! Maybe really drill it into her about safe sex practices!! Birth control quite honestly sucks.
I take cryselle. It’s amazing. My periods are so light and not painful. I really have no side effects either. It hasn’t even made me gain weight.

Family doctor or gynecologist can help her with all her question. Good job mom!
Take her to a gynocologist preferably with a specialist for teens. Research what ever they suggest.
