Short-Acting Oral Contraceptives
Short-acting oral contraceptives (AKA the Pill) are a very effective form of pregnancy prevention that needs to be taken daily.
Taking the pill requires you to think about taking them every day at the same time. The pill is also reversible, meaning once you stop taking it, the contraceptive effect wears off rapidly, and you can become pregnant as quickly as someone using no contraceptive.
