Contraception: choosing a method that fits your life
6 min read
There is no single best contraceptive. A useful choice reflects your health, priorities, plans and preferences.
Start with your priorities
Consider how long you want contraception, whether you prefer a daily or longer-acting method, your cycle concerns and whether you may want pregnancy in the near future.
Health history matters
Some options may not suit particular medical histories. A consultation reviews benefits, possible side effects and alternatives without pressure.
Your choice can change
A method that suits one life stage may not suit another. Side effects, plans and preferences can be reviewed over time.
Frequently asked questions
Which contraceptive is best?
