Contraception
Listen
You have many options.
Your choice depends on:
How long you require contraception
The effectiveness of the contraceptive
The side-effects of the contraceptive
Some Tips:
Most contraceptives are given or started on the 5th day of menses to ensure there is no pregnancy.
All methods described are reversible. Some may cause fertility to return slightly later.
This means that:
If 100 couples are trying for a baby, 85 will get pregnant in 12 months. Some will get pregnant at the start of the year, others at the end.
If 100 couple have stopped a contraceptive that delays fertility and try for a baby, 85 will get pregnant in 18 months. Some will get pregnant in the first few months, others at the end of the 18 months.
