Contraception
Contraception helps to prevent pregnancy after having unprotected sex with your partner. We provide combined oral contraceptive pills and progestogen or oestrogen-only pills for sexually active women who do not want to get pregnant.
Contraception side effects
Contraception pills don’t usually cause side effects, but in some cases, someone may experience:
Headaches
Stomach Pains
Sickness
Mood Swings
Breast Tenderness
What is the contraception pill
The contraception pill is made up of two hormones, progestogen and oestrogen which prevent ovulation. Some treatments include both or one of these hormones.
