Contraceptive Counselling

Ostermann notes that contraceptive counselling is essentially sitting down with a practitioner to review your family planning goals, discuss past methods you’ve liked or disliked, learn information about the various methods, and ultimately chat about what form of contraception best fits your current and future needs.

Here are six benefits of contraceptive counselling:

  • It accounts for your personal medical history.
  • You’ll get relevant answers to your questions.
  • Align personal preferences with professional advice.
  • Save yourself from “analysis paralysis” research.
  • Plan for the short- and long-term.
  • Build a foundation to discuss any future issues.
