What is the most effective birth control?

The only completely effective form of birth control is to not have vaginal intercourse. There are other pleasurable forms of sex that do not risk conception, but that is an answer for another question. Surgical means such as a male vasectomy or female tubal ligation are considered permanent options, but may sometimes be reversed. Chemical or surgical sterilization is an infrequently chosen option due to side effects. The proper use of a condom combined with compatible other forms of contraception are considered the best temporary measure. The diaphragm is slightly less reliable. Contraceptive implants, IUDs, and birth control pills when taken properly are quite effective. Pulling out, or the rhythm method may reduce the likelihood of a pregnancy but are not considered reliable or effective birth control. Folk methods such as having sex standing up, other positions, sex in water, or several things a woman may do after sex have not been shown to reduce likelihood of pregnancy. The exception is emergency contraception. Often called the morning after pill, it can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse, but the sooner you take it following sex the better chance it will be effective in preventing a pregnancy. This is not the same as RU486, mifepristone, also called the abortion pill. Not legal in all areas, mifepristone causes the termination(abortion) of very early term pregnancy.
Pulling out just on time; condom is your next best and help you not getting any nesty infections.

Is birth control effective if you start taking them before your period actually begins and not the last day of your period?

If you want your period to arrive on the same date then take your birth control on the 1st day of your period. You must continue to take birth control everyday and not miss a pill. If you miss a pill or several pills then you're at risk of pregnancy and you must always use a condom for 2 weeks when you miss one or more pills. Birth control does not reach its full effectiveness until you've been taking it for one month and you've received your 1st period while on birth control.

Does having a tilted uterus cause the iud to fall out?

Most women have a uterus that is tilted in one direction or the other.

Seeing a provider with a great deal of experience in the insertion of IUDs, such as one at a family planning center, can reduce this risk.
