No, it's not just the pill or IUD that is the first choice for contraception . For several years now, the contraceptive market has been evolving to better adapt to women's daily lives and their expectations.
But finding one's ideal contraceptive method is not something to be taken lightly. Your age, your lifestyle, your health problems and your family history are all factors to consider. Are you a distracted person? Maybe you should avoid the pill ( to be taken every night), the patch (to be renewed every week, 3 times a month) or the ring (to be changed every 3 weeks) because you might forget them and to get pregnant without wanting to.
If your doctor has prescribed any of these 3 contraceptives , do not hesitate to use some tips. For example, you can program an alert on your mobile phone, put your pill plate near your toothbrush, or make a small red circle in your diary on the said date (for others it will remain a simple form but you, you will know that it represents a contraceptive ring ...).
Remember to make an appointment each year with your gynecologist , he alone can tell you whether or not your contraceptive is always suitable for your body. He can also advise you if you want to stop him to change or to make a baby for example.
