Your body, your lifestyle, your contraception

Whatever stage of life you're at, if you're having sex and don't want to get pregnant you need to choose the right contraception for you.

Contraception can be a big part of your life so it's important to choose a method that suits your body and lifestyle. There are now 15 different methods in the UK! Research shows that the happier women are with their contraception, the more effective it's likely to be – in other words it's more likely you'll avoid an unplanned pregnancy.

Talk Choice will give you information to help you talk to your doctor or nurse and choose the best contraception for you. For more details on the Talk Choice campaign click here.
