Contraception is not just about “not wanting to get pregnant,” but it’s about planning your life in accordance with your health, readiness, and lifestyle.
Why should you “choose what’s right for you”?
- Each person’s body responds differently to contraceptive methods.
- Some people forget easily → Not suitable for monthly birth control pills.
- Some have chronic diseases → Need to consult a doctor before choosing hormonal methods.
- Some need convenience → Long-term methods might be more suitable.
Which contraceptive method is suitable for whom?
| Contraceptive Method | Suitable for whom? | Duration | Effectiveness* |
| Monthly Pills | People who are disciplined and can take pills on time. | Daily | 91–99% |
| Contraceptive Injection | People who can visit a doctor every 1 or 3 months. | 3 months | 94–99% |
| Implant | People who don’t want to think about contraception often. | 3–5 years | >99% |
| IUD | People who want a non-hormonal method (non-hormonal IUD type). | 5–10 years | >99% |
| Condoms | Everyone, especially those who want to prevent STDs. | Every time | 85–98% |
*When used correctly and consistently
Which method to choose? Start with these questions
- Do I often forget to take pills?
- Do I want short-term or long-term contraception?
- Is it convenient for me to visit the doctor as scheduled?
- Do I also want to prevent STDs?
- Do I have health issues or can I take hormones?
Conclusion: There is no best method, only the “method that suits you best.”
Don’t think you have to use what others use, because safe and effective contraception is the method you can “actually use” and “continue to use.”
