IMPLANON
The contraceptive implant (Nexplanon) is a small flexible plastic rod that’s placed under the skin in your upper arm by a doctor or nurse. It releases the hormone progestogen into your bloodstream to prevent pregnancy and lasts for 3 years.
IUCD( Intra-Uterine Contraceptive Device )
An IUD is a tiny device that’s put into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. It’s long-term, reversible, and one of the most effective birth control methods out there.
IUD is effective as soon as it is put in and it lasts a long time. A copper IUD can work for 10 years. Progestin IUDs can work for 3 to 5 years, depending on the brand. This makes the IUD a good option for women who are not ready to start a family.
EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE
Often called the morning-after pill, emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) are pills that can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after having unprotected sex. Some types of emergency contraception work best when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after intercourse.
CONDOMS
The condom is the only form of contraception that protects against most STIs as well as prevents pregnancy. This method of contraception can be used on-demand, is hormone-free, and can easily be carried with you. And it comes in male and female varieties.
CONTRACEPTIVE INJECTION
The injection contains a synthetic version of the hormone progestogen. It is given into a woman’s buttock or the upper arm, and over the next 12 weeks, the hormone is slowly released into your bloodstream.
The injection lasts for up to three months; is very effective; permits sexual spontaneity and doesn’t interrupt sex.
