No, you don’t have to know what contraceptive method you’d like before coming to clinic or before booking an appointment. We can support you at Brook Manchester to explore your options. The decision is always yours but we can help you make an informed choice.
Our contraception tool can also help you understand more about the methods and which ones might be good for you. You might want to bring your results with you when you come to clinic.
Yes, there are lots of different options that you can discuss with a nurse. We recommend you wait 3 months after starting a method as it can take that long for side effects to settle.
Brook can only give contraception to clients who are sexually active. Contraception can help with heavy periods but it’s best to talk to your GP in this instance.
Emergency contraception, or ‘the morning after pill’ can prevent pregnancy if you’ve had sex without a condom that could end in pregnancy. If you’re looking for the morning after pill or emergency contraception, read our webpage to find out where and how to get it.
If you’re unsure which contraceptive method to choose, you can use our handy contraception tool which will ask you a few questions about your needs and preferences and show you methods that might be good for you.
If you come to clinic, our friendly staff will also be able to support you to explore your options.
