Contraception options

An example of an alternative to the pill is for instance the EVRA patch. Instead of taking your contraception orally, birth control hormones can now be transferred through the skin. You just renew your patch once a week.

The NuvaRing offers another contraception method, you insert a ring into your vagina where it automatically releases hormones for three weeks.

Emergency contraception

Even when using reliable contraception, something might go wrong: a pill can be forgotten or a condom ripped. In that case emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy even a day after intercourse. ellaOne and Levonelle (NorLevo) are morning after pills which have been thoroughly clinically tested and have an 98% efficiency.
