The choices we make with our contraception can have wide-ranging consequences for our health, and yet as a recent survey showed, nearly 80 per cent of women continue to suffer with side effects. Is this good enough in the 21st century?

Choosing the right option is a frequently bewildering journey, littered with trial and error, misinformation, and confusion. With so many pill brands on the market, each with different formulations and potential side effects, it can feel impossible to find the one that's right for us. We are also often left in the dark as our needs change over the course of our lives: whether it's after having children, developing health issues, or navigating perimenopause.

Enriched with experiences from thousands of users of The Lowdown (the world's first contraceptive review platform and community), the medical expertise of their in-house team, and the latest clinical guidance and scientific research, Contraception is a book for anyone who wants to take control of their health. This comprehensive resource provides valuable insights into your reproductive health, covering topics such as managing conditions like endometriosis and PCOS, understanding what to expect during an abortion, planning for pregnancy after using contraception and navigating the changes that come with menopause. With zero bias or BS, this book is your essential guide to separating the myths from the medicine.©2025 Get The Lowdown Ltd. (P)2025 Hachette Audio UK
