Contraception for Women in their 20s

If you are sexually active and as you get older the best method of contraception may change as your life changes. You need to ask yourself the following questions:

Are you in a monogamous relationship, single, or dating again after the end of a relationship?

Do you ever have unprotected/unplanned sex? Do you have sex regularly? Can you remember to take a pill every day/ carry condoms at all times or do you need a longer lasting method? Do you need protection from Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)?

If you answer yes to one or more of these questions then you really need to think about the best contraception to suit you? Also you may be unhappy with your current method of contraception and therefore may want to change. There are a variety of contraceptive choices available for you.

You may be trying to become pregnant, breast-feeding, having a break between children, or is your family complete?
