YOU HAVE OPTIONS!
You do not have to be a certain age or have given birth to use any form of birth control, so choose what YOU want.
Different things matter to different people.
Pregnancy after age 45 is rare, even without birth control.
Long-Acting Reversible Methods
Hormonal Arm Implant
The birth control implant (Nexplanon) is a small rod. It is placed under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a progestin hormone to prevent pregnancy for 5 years.
Hormonal IUD
The hormonal IUD (Mirena and Liletta) is a small plastic T-shaped device. It is placed in the uterus. It releases a progestin hormone to prevent pregnancy for 8 years.
Non-Hormonal IUD
The copper IUD (Paragard) is non-hormonal. It is a small T-shaped device wrapped in copper placed in the uterus. It prevents pregnancy for at least 12 years.
Long-Acting NOT Reversible Methods
Tubal Sterilization
Tubal sterilization is a surgery that is NOT easily reversible. A doctor cuts or removes the fallopian tubes through a cut in your belly.
Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a surgery for men that is NOT easily reversible. It blocks their tubes so no sperm is released. There are no effects on the ability to have an erection or orgasm. Semen is still released during orgasm, but it will not have sperm in it.
