In Scotland, contraception is free to access through NHS Scotland. There are many different types of contraception, so it is important to take your time and research so you can find what works best for you.
WHY DO PEOPLE USE CONTRACEPTION? People use contraception if they want to avoid pregnancy. Without any form of contraception, typically 85 in 100 women will get pregnant in one year. Thus, if you do not currently want to be pregnant, using contraceptive methods are essential.
There are other benefits of using contraception, too.
