Nearly all women use contraception in their lifetimes…but very few understand more than the basics of how our bodies work, and why we need to spend more time on this vital choice.

Do you wonder what the long-term side effects of your current contraceptive choice may be?

Does your current method, if you have one, work well with your lifestyle, needs, and long-term plans?

Has anyone ever explained what all your options actually are?

More than 90 percent of sexually active women have only been given a very limited amount of information about how birth control works, often right at the beginning when they start their first pill or patch.
