Oral contraceptive pill? Intrauterine device (IUD)? Patch? Vaginal ring? Contraceptive injection? Condom? What are the different methods of birth control?

The nurses at the Student Health Services can help you explore your options and answer your questions. They can also prescribe the contraception method that will best meet your needs!

You may also find reliable information online at:

• It’s a Plan

A nice online tool created by Sex&U to help you and your health care provider determine the method that’s best for you.

• Contraception Booklet

Useful tool on contraception in general, brought to you by The Society of Obstetricians

However, don’t forget that the condom is the only contraception method that also offers protection against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)!
