Specializes in Psychiatry

Differs by person.: That is a very individual issue. I suggest discussing this with your gynecologist. Some possibilities include diaprhagm, condom, iud, spermicides, oral contraceptive etc.

Individual: The most effective contraceptive methods are iud, nexplanon, and Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). Each contraceptive method has its own pros and cons. Your gynecologist can help you sort them out.
