Whilst everyone often seems to feels the need to offer their advice, much like it happens with hair & skin care, weight-loss etc.
Choosing contraception is a little like choosing underwear!
• Its YOUR Personal choice
• Its individualized
• It must be comfortable & convenient for YOU
• It must be suitable and tailored to and for your health and wellbeing
• It must be accessible, affordable and work for your lifestyle
• You get to choose when to start or stop using it
• It can never be based on what a friend/sister/Dr or Google results.
Here are some important questions to ask your gynae when deciding on which contraception is best for YOU.
1. Is it suitable for my age, budget, health, lifestyle?
2. How will it affect future pregnancies?
3. How will it affect my menstrual cycle (Bleeding, spotting and period pains)?
4.How will it affect my skin?
5. Will it cause mood swings
6. Is it suitable while breastfeeding (if you are)?
7. How will it affect my sex life ( drive /desire, arousal and especially vaginal lubrication)
What are some of your burning questions, experiences or myths you’ve been dying to ask your gynae regarding your contraception?
