What is the best method of birth control for a 49-year-old woman?

Some people believe an IUD (without any hormonal supplements) would be the best. But like everything in life, it is not a one size fits all answer.

If you are a healthy 49 year old, who doesn't smoke; you can safely take BCP, use a patch, a diaphragm or even use a NuvaRing. If you have never been pregnant, an IUD may not be the best devise for you. This is a question to take up with your GYN or midwife, to truly find the best method for you.
