Why Choosing the Right Contraception Matters
Every woman is different, and so are her contraceptive needs. Factors like health conditions, lifestyle, and long-term plans can influence which method is best for you. That’s why it’s essential to consult with a professional who can help assess your needs and recommend the most suitable option.
The Types of Contraception at Femplus
At Femplus, we provide a range of contraception options to suit different needs. Below, we’ll explain the benefits of each method we offer, so you can start considering which might work best for you.
- The Copper Coil (IUD)
The copper coil, also known as an intrauterine device (IUD), is a hormone-free, long-lasting option that can protect against pregnancy for up to 10 years. It’s a popular choice for women who prefer non-hormonal contraception and want something low-maintenance. The coil is highly effective and completely reversible, making it ideal if you’re looking for long-term contraception but want the flexibility to stop whenever you’re ready. - The Implant
The contraceptive implant is a small device inserted just under the skin of your upper arm. It’s convenient and effective for up to three years, offering a “set it and forget it” option. The implant is discreet and requires minimal effort once in place, making it a great choice for women with busy lifestyles. Like the coil, it’s also easily reversible if your plans change. - The Contraceptive Pill
The pill is a trusted and flexible form of contraception that works when taken correctly each day. It’s a great option for women who like having control over their contraception. Beyond preventing pregnancy, many women also choose the pill for its additional benefits, like regulating periods, managing PMS symptoms, or addressing hormonal imbalances. - Emergency Contraception (emergency coil)
Emergency contraception, Â is a reliable backup option if your usual method of contraception fails or is missed. A coil is the most effective method for emergency contraception. It can be inserted up to five Fays from the date of the accident. At Femplus, we can provide professional advice and access to emergency contraception when needed.
