Implants & IUD
The most effective types of contraception to stop pregnancy are implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs). These are also called long-acting reversible contraception. A doctor or nurse fits them for you, so you don’t have to think about them every day. You can have them taken out at any time if you change your mind.
Implants
An implant is a small plastic rod that goes under the skin in your arm. It works for up to 3 years. Click below to watch a video about implant
IUD
An IUD (also called a coil) is a small plastic device that a doctor or nurse puts into your womb. There are two types of IUD: Hormonal IUDs and Copper IUDs. They work up to 10 years.

Pills & Other Methods
Some people use types of contraception that don’t need to be fitted by a doctor or nurse. They can work well, but you have to remember to use them.
The Pill
There are two kinds of pills with hormones that help stop pregnancy. You need to remember to take them at the right time.
The Injections
The hormone injection lasts for 12 or 13 weeks. We can give it to you in the clinic, or we can show you how to do it at home. You need to get the next one on time, so it keeps working.
Condoms
Condoms help stop pregnancy and are the only type of contraception that also protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs). You can use them at the same time as other types of contraception to protect you from STIs.
Diaphragms
A diaphragm is a small, bendy cup that goes inside the vagina before sex. It covers the opening to the womb to stop sperm from getting in. You need to use it with a special gel to make it work properly.
