Get the IUD if you can handle pain for a couple of days. Lasts 5 years for Mirena and 10 for Paragard and worth every cent if you like that peace of mind that it's got the highest success rate on the market and you'll never "forget" to take it.
If you want something a little less drastic, get the Nuvaring. Put it in for 3 weeks, take it out for one, check it periodically to make sure it's still there (check right after sex, if you find it and put it back in before it's been out for 3 hours, you're golden). Lower likelihood that you'll forget your birth control.
Sex doesn't need to be something that induces panic. I'll probably get thumbsed down all to hades for saying this but in my experience, a lot of birth control "failures" are usually either failures to use it at all or failures to use it properly.
Is it normal to fear pregnancy after each time I have sex?
