Making choices that fit your life

Family planning can help you decide the timing and spacing of pregnancies, or whether you want to have children at all. The right approach depends on your health, family goals, and lifestyle.

A family planning specialist can explain the options, answer questions about how they work, and help you choose an approach that suits you.

Family planning options

Barrier methods

Condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps prevent sperm from reaching the egg.

Hormonal methods

Options include contraceptive pills, patches, injections, and implants that regulate ovulation.

Intrauterine devices (IUDs)

Long-term contraceptive devices placed inside the uterus.

Natural family planning

Fertility patterns are monitored to help plan or avoid pregnancy. A family planning specialist can explain the method that may be suitable for you.

Permanent contraception

Permanent options may be considered if you are certain you don’t want children in the future.

Why family planning matters

Family planning can reduce unintended and closely spaced pregnancies, support maternal and child health, and help families plan their practical and financial resources.

If you are trying to become pregnant or need fertility support, your doctor can also guide you to the fertility service that best fits your needs.
