Types of contraception

Contraception is something you do or use to prevent pregnancy.

There are lots of different types of contraception. Knowing your choices and the what each kind of contraception can offer, can help you to decide the best option for you. It is important to talk to your doctor or health care worker to help you make this decision as there are lots of other health and lifestyle factors that need to be considered. 

Using a long acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) form of contraception AND a condom is the best way for young people to protect themselves against unintended pregnancy and sexually transmissible infections (STIs).
