Long-Acting Contraception
Long acting contraception is a range of highly effective contraceptive methods that last for an extended period of time. They include the hormonal IUS, the copper IUD, the hormonal injection, hormonal implant and sterilisation.
Short-Acting Contraception
Short-acting contraceptives are a range of contraceptive methods that are user dependent and need to be taken on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. They are highly effective if used correctly. Short-acting contraception options include the pill, the patch, the ring, condoms, the cap and the diaphragm.
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception is a method of contraception that can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex (e.g no contraception used or contraception has failed).
Other Options
These are alternative contraceptive methods to short-acting and long-acting options and include a number of different fertility awareness methods. It is very important to be aware that these methods are a lot less effective than short-acting and long-acting options.
