Methods compared
How well each method works with typical use, meaning how people actually use it.

|---|---|---|
| Implant (arm) | Up to 3 years | Fewer than 1 |
| Hormonal IUD | 3 to 8 years, depending on type | Fewer than 1 |
| Copper IUD | 5 to 10 years, depending on type | Fewer than 1 |
| Injection | Every 3 months | About 4 |
| Combined or progestogen-only pill | Taken daily | About 7 |
| Weekly non-hormonal pill (centchroman) | Taken weekly after the first three months | Varies; discuss with the doctor |
| Male condom | Each time | About 13 (also protects against infections) |
| Female or male sterilisation | Permanent | Fewer than 1 |
Emergency contraception
If you had sex without contraception or a method failed, come as soon as you can. The emergency pill works best within 24 hours and can be used up to 72 hours (some up to 120 hours). A copper IUD fitted within five days is the most effective option.
How your visit works
- A conversation about what matters to you — how often you want to think about it, periods, side effects, and when you might want a pregnancy.
- Health checks — blood pressure, weight and medical history, to make sure a method is safe for you. A pregnancy test may be needed.
- An examination only if needed, for example before an IUD is fitted.
- Your choice — a prescription, or arrangements for the method you choose. Copper IUCDs are fitted here at a planned visit. If you choose an implant, hormonal IUD or sterilisation, we explain where and when it can be done.

Common questions
Do I need my husband’s consent?
No. An adult woman can choose and use contraception with her own consent.
Will contraception affect my fertility later?
No. Fertility returns quickly after stopping most methods. After the injection it can take several months, sometimes up to a year.
Can I use contraception after having a baby or while breastfeeding?
Yes. Progestogen-only methods and the copper IUD are suitable while breastfeeding. The doctor will advise when to start.
I’m not married. Can I still come?
Yes. Adult women are seen in confidence, and marital status is not asked unless it is medically relevant. Patients under 18 are seen with a parent or guardian.
