Contraception

There are many forms of contraception available for use today and it is very important that you think about which method of contraception you will be using in the future. You may discuss this with one of our patient advisors or doctors, at any of our Pregnancy Advisory Services or Treatment Centres. Information will also be available at your local family planning clinic or with your own GP if you prefer.

If you choose to visit us, you will be advised about the most effective methods of contraception to use at your first consultation and assessment session. If you have a termination of pregnancy it is very important that you consider your contraceptive needs beforehand as it is possible to become pregnant, even before your next period, if you have unprotected intercourse.

Condoms and written information about all forms of contraception are available at no extra charge. An IUD (intrauterine device) or coil can only be fitted at the treatment centres at the time of operation, for a small fee. Patients need to arrange this with the clinic at consultation and bring an I.U.D. along at time of treatment, from their own GP or Family Planning Clinic.

We are not a family planning organisation however we are able to refer you to your nearest clinic where every aspect of contraception to suit your needs can be discussed in detail.
