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?
There is no universal best method. Suitability depends on your health, plans and preferences.
