I chose five-yearly - Hormonal IUD

Brigitte, 35, corporate lawyer

With a 5- and a 7-year-old running around the yard, Brigitte’s focus had shifted to watching her kids grow up and her growing career. She didn’t want birth control to be as big a focus as it used to be. She considered sterilization, but in talking with her doctor, Brigitte realized she wanted to make the option of another pregnancy down the road easier.

There are many choices of hormonal contraceptive available. Like Brigitte, you should do your own research and speak with your doctor about the advantages and disadvantages of the different available types of hormonal contraceptive and choose the one that best fits your needs.
