It is advisable to talk to your own doctor or staff at your local family planning clinic. They can help you choose a contraception that will work well for you, and which suits your lifestyle.
It is important that you are happy with your choice and that you know how to use it correctly. This will help to reduce the risks of any unplanned pregnancies.
Further advice and information about contraception is available from the following organisations.
