The pill has been around for more than 50 years and there are two main types; the combined pill and the progestogen only pill. The clue about the difference between the two is all in the name; the combined pill contains both progestogen and oestrogen whilst the progestogen only pill contains only progestogen.

If none of the above seem right for you, don’t worry, there are more options for you to choose from - barrier methods like the condom or the cap, as well as natural contraceptive methods and also sterilisation. You can also find out about emergency contraception in this section – but do remember that it is only for an emergency and not intended to replace the use of a regular contraceptive choice.
