Birth Control Pills

Birth control pills contain estrogen and progestin and are taken daily to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus to block sperm. They are safe and effective, but may be less effective if you are overweight or experience vomiting or diarrhea. In such cases, a backup method is recommended.

Intrauterine Device (IUD)

An IUD is a small, T-shaped plastic device inserted into the uterus by a gynecologist. It releases hormones that thicken cervical mucus, prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg, and thin the uterine lining. It can remain effective for up to 8 years and is 99% effective. It can be removed if you wish to become pregnant.

Birth Control Patch

The patch, worn on the skin, releases estrogen and progestin to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus. It is 60% stronger than pills and may increase the risk of blood clots, so it’s not suitable for smokers. It can also help regulate periods and ease menstrual cramps.

Vaginal Ring

The vaginal ring is soft and flexible, worn inside the vagina. It releases hormones directly into the bloodstream, providing consistent medication levels and improving effectiveness. It is worn for 3 weeks and replaced after a 7-day break.
