Contraception
There are many types of contraception that can help you control if and when you become pregnant.
The first type you try may not be quite right, you may try a few methods before you find one that suits your lifestyle.
Regular contraception and emergency contraception is free through the NHS and is available through your local sexual health clinic, GP or some pharmacies. You can also order oral contraception (the pill) and emergency hormonal contraception (the morning after pill) online from SH:24 for free.
