If you feel like you’re stumbling around in the dark, the best thing to do is to go to a women’s health center or a doctor’s office, perhaps accompanied by a trusted adult (your mother, if you feel comfortable, or an aunt or other person with whom you can speak freely).
When choosing the type of contraception, or the mode of administration, you must first take into account your individual needs, and at the same time ensure their safety. This way, once you have made a decision, you will be more motivated to follow the method over time, and will have greater satisfaction. In a woman’s health center, there are doctors who are prepared and trained to identify and meet the various contraceptive requirements for women or for couples based on specific needs. There are methods that are suitable for infrequent or temporary sexual activity, while others are better suited for frequent or regular sexual activity. Both approaches are valid because they respond to different needs.
