What Contraception is best for Isla

After their initial conversations about contraception, Isla’s healthcare provider gathers more information to help Isla decide which contraception method is most suitable for her.    

There are multiple factors that should be taken into consideration when choosing the most suitable method of contraception. These include:  

  • How well it works at preventing pregnancy 
  • How it is used 
  • The side effects and risks it has  
  • Effects it has on periods  
  • Individual’s medical and family history  
  • Individual’s personal preferences
  • Health risks of a pregnancy
