Don't leave things to chance. The UK has the highest unplanned pregnancy rate in Europe, especially in teenagers.
We would advise that whatever method of contraception you use it is always a good idea to use condoms as well.
Have you thought about the Long acting methods of contraception or LARCS? These are extremely effective methods, which reduce the risk and worry of missed pills. Please visit the link below.
