Contraception decision-making: what matters to you, and changing your mind

Working out what you actually need from a method, what privacy and cost do to the choice, and what happens when you switch or stop.

What you will be able to do afterwards

  • List what you need from a method before a conversation starts, in your own order
  • Weigh privacy, cost and getting hold of it as part of the decision rather than after it
  • Describe what switching or stopping involves, and what your cycle tends to do
  • Say the thing you came about, and ask again if the first answer did not fit

Completing this course means you have worked through the material. It is not a clinical qualification, it does not make you able to advise anyone else, and it carries no professional standing.
