This is a discussion that you need to have with your health care provider. They know your own medical history, your family history and the risks to your health. You also have a real risk of ovarian cysts (PCOS).

From what you are describing, I do not think anything but condoms. With Plan B/Ella as a backup.

With changes in your smoking, and watching your diet, hormonal birth control may be possible.

Take care!
