There are many different types of contraception, and all types are geared for your personal situation and what is convenient for you. 👇
🩷 Birth Control Pills: Women take the pill by mouth to prevent pregnancy, and, when taken correctly, it is up to 99.9% effective.
🩷 Intrauterine Methods (IUD): An IUD can remain in place and function effectively for many years at a time.
🩷 Implant: It's considered a long-acting birth control option, providing up to 3 years of continuous pregnancy protection. It must be removed by the end of the third year.
🩷 Vaginal Ring: A vaginal ring is used to prevent pregnancy and it’s easy to use. You insert and remove it yourself. Just put it in for 3 weeks, take it out, then put a new one in a week later.
🩷 Contraceptive patch: A contraceptive patch sticks to the skin and is highly effective to prevent you from getting pregnant by releasing hormones.
