Contraception Choices Post – By Dr. McNaughton ND

February 9, 2018 Leave a Comment

Did you know that condoms and birth control pills aren’t your only options when it comes to

contraception? Some tools are hormone based, while others are barriers to prevent

unwanted pregnancy. Knowing your options is empowering because you choose which best

suits your needs while avoiding unwanted side effects.

 

As the risk factors for younger women are very different from women who have already had

their family, each individual must consider the follow key factors to choose the method that

most suits your needs:

  • Does the method need to be reversible?

  • Do you need protection against potential STIs?

  • Are you 35 years or older?

  • Do you smoke?

  • Do you prefer hormonal options (which prevent ovulation) or barrier methods

    (which do not alter hormones)?

  • Are your cycles regular and predictable?

  • Can you remember to take a daily pill?

  • Will you be consistent in using a barrier method?

 

Below is a basic summary of several common approaches.
