Contraception

The prevention of pregnancy – what are my options?

When choosing a method of contraception it is important to consider the following:

• Your individual needs and circumstances
• How effective they are at preventing pregnancy
• Possible side effects and risks
• Cost and availability
• Protection against sexually transmitted infections
• Can it be reversed so pregnancy is possible?

Detailed further information on each of these methods of contraception can be discussed with your health care provider, your local Family Planning organisation or found via the following link:
