Est preferred Contraception method
I am 25yr old girl. I am taking medicines for hypothyroidism (thyroxine 50mcg). I got married recently and I am looking for a safe and least complicated method of contraception apart from IUDs. I have heard of intradermal progesterone discs and progesterone injections which are efficient for upto 5yrs. But are they safe and available in our health care sector??
