Other contraception

There are alternative forms of contraception that can be used that aren’t pills

All about the contraceptive injection
This injection steadily releases progestogen into the bloodstream which prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg each month. These injections can last between 8-13 weeks depending on the type used.

Sexual health clinics or GPs can administer these injections and are known to be 99% effective if they are given on time. Visit your GP or nearest health clinic for more information.

*NONE OF THESE METHODS PROTECT AGAINST SEXUALLY TRASMITTED DISEASES.

All about the IUD
A small plastic and copper device inserted into the womb by a doctor or nurse. The copper in the device changes fluids in the womb and fallopian tubes to stop sperm surviving there. It can be fitted within 10-20 minutes and can last over 10 years depending on the type. It starts working as soon as it’s fitted and fertility returns to normal once removed.

Visit your GP or nearest clinic for more information.

All about the IUS
Like the IUD it is a small plastic device inserted into the womb by a doctor or nurse. The device slowly releases progestogen which thickens the mucus at the entrance of the womb and thins womb lining. They can be fitted in 10-20 minutes and last around 3-5 years. They have a very low failure rate and are estimated to be 99% effective.

Visit your GP or nearest health clinic for more information.
