A member asked:

My wife, wants to take injection contraceptives because she thinks she might forget to take the pills. is it right to take this route ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Injection, implant or IUD are 3 forms of BC that accommodate those who forget easily. The specific form must be determined during a discussion with her doc that includes a review of other issues.
