Which contraceptive will suit me?

With all the different options available, you're sure to find a long-term method of contraception that suits you.

Contraceptives fall into three main types:

Barrier methods designed to stop sperm getting into the womb
Hormonal methods which temporarily alter the way your reproductive system works
Other, less sophisticated methods such as withdrawal, which are much more risky if you don't want to get pregnant

Find out more about these methods at www.contraception.co.uk and if you're not happy with the method of contraception you are currently using, think about changing now and discuss with your healthcare professional.
